Favre tells NFL Network he will not return next season (1 Viewer)

Are you kidding me? Matt Ryan's son will have to sit a couple years behind Favre before he gets his chance.

 
we haven't been through this before.

anyone wanna bet that once they fire chilly favre reconsiders? probably around august he'll hold a press conference announcing his intentions to play "one more year." he's a total joke.

 
Tend to believe him this time. He had every reason to believe the pieces were in place to make one final run, but things haven't went right all year on/off the field.

After watching how much they struggled to beat the Cards @ home, I don't even see the relatively easy 2nd half schedule helping them much. Adding Sidney is too little, too late (I don't think he can immediately come back and play at the insane level he did last year).

 
Methinks that this one is for real (finally). I believe that he really did not want to play this year, but between the check getting big enough and the somewhat silly vikings recruitment, he thought that he could squeeze another year with a real chance to go Superbowling. His body and his coach have made that idea laughable.

 
Favre stakes a lot of slack for still playing, but to put it in perspective Jerry Rice had a longer career. I'm just happy my 7 year old son has a chance to see one of the greatest QBs of all time play, even if he isn't in his prime. If he decides to stick around another year more power to him.

Maybe he'll make the Vikings send 11 players down to get him next year.And he'll hold out until just a few days before the season next time - it's not like being rusty with his receivers hurt any this year.And he'll get the Vikes to throw an extra $10 million at him next year to get him to report.I do enjoy watching him once he's finally on the field though.
 
He wont be under contract and he knows no team will want his old ### next year. Maybe he and TO can play catch.

... because TO clearly has nothing left in the tank. :lmao:

Meh, he said this when he first reported this season. Old news.

:lmao: He and Pat Williams made statements right at the beginning of the season that "this was it".

IF there is football next year it will be interesting to see who is chucking the ball for the vikings and who will step in for Pat. :popcorn:

 
It wouldn't surprise me if he takes a year off, gets back to "100 percent" and puts out feelers that he'd be willing to come back in a timeshare or even a backup situation. Then, if anybody wanted him, he'd lobby for the starting job.

If Favre is healthy, he wants to play. He's not healthy this year. A full year off and we'll read interviews about how much it did for him and how young he feels taking that time off.

 
He's been beat up like never before, his reputation has been damaged like never before, he thinks less of his coach than he ever has before, etc. etc. There is no incentive for him to return. He'll be gone after this season.

All of that is true. But I still won't believe it until he's dead.

He comes back as QB for the Bears to get back at GB & Minn.

Then get traded to Detroit week 4 after Stafford breaks his shoulder.

Think of the dilemma though if Favre comes back for the Bears next year...He wouldn't know whether to call the Vikings and let them know Green Bay's offensive schemes, or call GB and let them know the Vikings secrets, or to call the Jets and give them info about both GB and Minn.
 
I'm 99.9% sure he's done as the clock ticks down to 0:00 in Detroit on January 2. I think he was done after last year's NFC Championship Game if teammates hadn't begged him back. I obviously know his history (he's retired what, 35 times now?). I just think this is it. I'd actually love to be wrong after getting to watch him up close for two seasons (pre-season through the playoffs), but I think he's got eight games left. No playoffs. He's done.
