Source: Favre in touch with Packers about return
link
Quote:
With his family "tugging" on him to play, Brett Favre has an "itch" to come out of retirement and report to training camp with the Green Bay Packers later this month, according to sources close to the team and player.
Favre has communicated his potential desire to coach Mike McCarthy but talks have not advanced to a substantive stage, a Packers source said.
The source said the Packers would be reluctant to open the door for Favre because "Brett retired for the right reasons, even though I know his family is tugging on him [to play]."
Another source conceded Favre was "getting the itch" to play football in 2008.
However, Favre's agent downplayed the likelihood that the quarterback could un-retire or that he was prepared to report to camp July 28.
"As far as I know, right now, Brett Favre is retired and until he tells me something different, that's what it is," James "Bus" Cook, Favre's agent, said.
Favre was unavailable for comment. A Packers spokesman said that McCarthy and general manager Ted Thompson were on vacation.
"The Packers have no reaction," team spokesman Jeff Blumb told The Associated Press.
Favre has two years remaining on his contract at an average of about $12.5 million per season. His salary is not currently counting toward the salary cap because the Packers placed him on the reserve-retired list

Re: Source: Favre in touch with Packers about return
Yeah, I don't want to see a hall of fame QB play as long as he can at a productive level either. And what kind of ******* has reservations about quitting something he's done his whole life?
Screw Brett, I wanna see Aaron Rodgers.

Re: Source: Favre in touch with Packers about return
On ESPNews, they just said that Favre someone from the media and said all these rumors are false...
Stay tuned...

You hit the nail on the head. We're all angry that Brett Favre, a hall of fame QB as you stated, is contemplating coming back so that he can continue to play at a high level.
And you're absolutely correct. We're pissed that he's having a tough time letting go of something he's done his whole career.
Spot on.
You have excellent presumptive skills.
