Just a rumour of course.

ESPN opened NFL Live this afternoon with a blockbuster: Brett Favre is considering a comeback with the Packers.

According to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, Favre has made some preliminary contact with the team, including head coach Mike McCarthy, to discuss a possible return.

PFT has previously reported that Favre’s agent, Bus Cook, is pushing him to play in 2008, and that Cook is quietly telling league insiders that Favre isn’t 100 percent retired.

The last time reports surfaced of Favre contemplating a return, Favre issued an emphatic denial, calling returning to football “The last thing I’m thinking about.” It will be interesting to see whether Favre makes a similar statement this time.

As Trey Wingo noted during NFL Live, ESPN is already planning to make the first Monday Night Football of the year, all Favre, all the time. They just didn’t think there was any chance that Favre would be in uniform.

Well. I say he deserves to be able to do whatever he wants, even if it means messing the team up a bit. I do feel sorry for Aaron though.

i dont think we'll see favre in the NFL again. i do hope he doesnt come back just to let the team move on and give rodgers a chance

[Crippa]

Yeah, I think he needs to quit while he's ahead. He wouldn't want to come back and play poorly, ending his career on a bad note. He played exceptionally well last year, and I think they should leave it at that. Aaron has been there too long to not start and the Packers need to have faith in him and not bring back a 37 year old QB. They need to have confidence in Rodgers, and I'm sure he will do a great job given the team they have and the way their offense is built.

I get the feeling the packers dont want him back.

They are ready to move on and begin a new chapter, all this comeback talk is making them uneasy

They don't like the comeback talk because it is basically destroying Aaron's confidence and psyche.

It'd be odd having Favre back, even though it's gonna be odder not seeing him on the field.

[T-mac-to-the-rack]

Well we all knew this would come up before the season started.

[KD21]

I want him back last year all his jerseys were sold out. Come on play another season Bret. You have a shot of winning it all

[Faber]

What more does he need to prove? Just quit.
