Brett Favre Will Play Again - I.M.H.O.

Despite his decision to retire today, Brett Favre is likely to play quarterback in the NFL before all is said and done. Citing mental exhaustion as the primary motivating factor, Favre is leaving the game after having made 253 consecutive regular season starts (275 including playoffs). Not surprisingly, Favre is mentally exhausted, but physically he's still got it. Which leads one to conclude that after a suitable mental Sabbatical period has ensued, Favre will be back and playing QB for somebody, somewhere.

  1. Didn't Favre sign a lifetime contract with the Packers in 2001? That would mean he would have to return to the Pack.

  2. Good point Cynthia; legally you are correct (http://www.packers.com/news/releases/2001/03/03-02.html). However, given the paucity of players at the position and given the fact that agreements are made to be broken (oftimes) and given the adage where there is a will there is a way, I find it hard to believe that this is REALLY IT for Favre. Specifically when he is still at the top of his game physically (hard to believe). I can see him getting itchy feet once he rests himself mentally. I can also see him returning to an AFC club as a condition of being released from his Packer obligation. I can think of at least two clubs in need of an experienced QB right now (Carolina Panthers, Houston Texans). We will have to let this play out, but don't be surprised to see the Great One prowling the sidelines again somewhere.
