Brett Favre during one of the better moments of his career after winning Super Bowl XXXI with Green Bay Packers. After being a part of latest Jets collapse last season and then announcing his retirement, Favre will meet with Vikings head coach Brad Childress later this week, the latest step in yet another comeback. (Photo courtesy of USA Today)After once again stating that he has no desire to return to the National Football League, Brett Favre has returned to being the center of the "Will he or won't he?" conversation.
The former Packers and Jets quarterback intends to meet later this week with Vikings head coach Brad Childress with the intent of resuming his Hall of Fame career that has spanned 18 years, and has seen him break most of the NFL's all-time passing records. Currently, the Vikings have Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels as their quarterbacks going into this summer's training camp.
Favre had hoped to play for the Vikings last season, but Green Bay would not trade him to their division rival, instead sending him to the Jets. The Packers also included an agreement in the trade that would give them the Jets' next three first-round picks in the NFL draft if New York subsequently traded him to Minnesota. The 39-year-old Favre is also recovering from a torn biceps tendon that contributed to his inefficiency last December during the Jets' meltdown, where Gang Green lost four of its last five games after starting 8-3 with wins over the Patriots and Titans.
