Brett Favre After last years late season collapse from the New York Jets and quarterback Brett Favre, most NFL experts thought the sure fire Hall of Famer would surely call it quits for good and stay retired.
However, resent speculation has fueled the idea that Favre is considering another comeback. This time by heading back to the NFC North to possibly suit up for the Minnesota Vikings.
The Vikings broke their silence Monday, with president Mark Wilf saying the team is considering the supposedly retired star.
"He's a Hall of Fame quarterback. He's a great competitor," Wilf said. "Ultimately, you'll have to ask Brett what his plans are, but sure there's interest in Brett Favre. But again, it's
Favre was released by the Jets on April 28 and issued a statement that said, "At this time, I am retired and have no intention of returning to football."
Favre has reportedly bin doing some light throwing at Hattiesburg's Oak Grove High School. Favre's agent, Bus Cook, said that Favre told him that after throwing about 10 times, his arm hurt. Cook reiterated that "right now, he is retired. Nothing has changed."
This is becoming an annual thing with Favre and the Vikings should take care in making the decision to go after Favre. The currently have incumbent Tarvaris Jackson, newcomer Sage Rosenfels and third-stringer John David Booty.

Brett still has the arm and the ability to shred opposing offenses. Problem is, he's got a 40-year-old body, and won't sit down when injured. Sadly, any help he provides to the Vikings will decline as the season progresses, the same way it did the past two years with the Jets and Packers... the Packers would have been in the superbowl if he had just accepted some bench time so he could recover, and we now all know that he was playing with a torn biceps in the last few games last year. I expect that he'll provide a temporary boost for the Vikings, but it won't be enough to get them into the playoffs... and the following year the Vikings will end up with a fired coach, and be the only team in the NFC central without a good, young QB.
