Favre to stay retired (updated)

I dont know... i think he would unretire to play for the Vikings. Favre + Vikings = a good chance of going to the superbowl. Theyve got a great team - they just need a QB.Favre is quickly approaching Testeverde territory though. He turns 40 in October. He simply isn't injury prone anymore, and those balls that he used to fit into tight windows have been progressively turning into INTs more and more every year since he turned 35, save for one abberation season.

I'd actually argue that the Vikings are better off with one of many young QBs, maybe even JD Booty, if not Jackson, under center.

If Favre were to come back, and I really doubt he will, I would think this year he would make up his mind sooner rather than later. I think he saw last year just how difficult it is to join a team in training camp and try to get up to speed with a new offense and teammates.

Who gives a rats ass!!

With Farve nothing would surprise me but he did say last year he had trouble keeping up hi level of play later in the season. I just think he now knows its time to retire but I'm sure with this move we will here some rumors.

I want to point out that it's a totally different dynamic to get ready for another year when you are coming off of Favre's 2007 than off of Favre's 2008. He may be fickle, but he's not delusional. He's only going to come back if the Vikings put heavy pressure on him to do so. I doubt he really wants to play right now.

PFT is reporting that Favre asked to be released TWICE - and most recently immediately after the Jets drafted Sanchez. I don't think Favre would do that if he didn't want to play. And you have to beleive that if Favre were available, SOMEONE would pick him up.

I certainly wouldnt want Favre under center here as we are not just a "QB away" from being a contender, but he could be appealing to the Vikings. I'm not too familiar with the Vikings QB situation, but they are a team that really only needs a QB. Jackson is doo-doo. Sage may be better, but not by much. An argument could be made that an effective Favre could put them over the top. personally, i think Favres body is done, even if his mind is not.

His agent said he did it because he wants to retire as a Packer...we shall see

I think he would need a surgery before he could play again.

I can't believe that I was the only one to come up with that idea.

if he was willing to return, i bet snyder and vinnie would be interested.
