As you probably know by now, Brett Favre has declared his retirement, then changed his mind and decided he wants to return.  The Packers realize that if Favre was feeling so sore that he wanted to retire he’s probably too old. Also he hasn’t won a Super Bowl in awhile and based on those factors they don’t want Favre back.  They’ve even gone as far as offering him a contract to stay retired.  They are acting strange though.  If they think Favre is really too old why don’t they want him playing for rival team the Vikings.  Obviously they must not be sure how Favre will play but they don’t want to be stuck with him if he’s not playing well but if he does play well they don’t want him playing against him.  Other teams agree with the Packers organization.  Even if they don’t say it they show it by the fact that they are only offering the Packers 4th round picks for him.  They must also think he will not play well and don’t want to be stuck with him.  Favre has recently stated that the contract he was offered to stay retired “although awkward and unsettling to most, may be the best option in the end.”
