I don't doubt that Brett still wants to play, but I feel Chris Mortensen's report (which is what SS was alluding to) is more based on Favre simply thinking out loud than actually changing his position.

If Favre tells the Packers he isn't retiring after all, I think there's only one correct way for the Packers to handle it: Make him come to training camp and put him at No.2 on the preseason depth chart. This has to be Aaron Rodgers' job to lose. I think Brohm is the future there anyway, so if there is a time for Rodgers: its right now.

The other two options are: release Brett Favre, or start him from day one. If you start him, I think you have to let Rodgers go at the end of the season. If you release him and he plays elsewhere, there is going to be a mutiny in Wisconsin.

This seems like a complicated issue with a simple solution: Brett Favre should just move on.
