38-year-old Brett Favre retired from the Green Bay Packers earlier this year but it seems Favre is having second thoughts. Unfortunately for Packer fans those thoughts appear to have him possibly returning for a didfferent team. The Huffington Postreports that Favre has asked the Packers to release him so he can return to playing football for a different NFL team.
Favre asked the Packers to release him so he can return to the NFL with another team after apparently being told his latest retirement reversal wasn't welcome news in Green Bay. The team said it would do "what's right" in response to Favre's request, which was first reported by ESPN on Friday.
"Brett earned and exercised the right to retire on his terms," the team's statement said.
"We wanted him to return and welcomed him back on more than one occasion. Brett's press conference and subsequent conversations in the following weeks illustrated his commitment to retirement. The finality of his decision to retire was accepted by the organization. At that point, the Green Bay Packers made the commitment to move forward with our football team."
This is likely to disappoint many Green Bay Packer fans who see Favre as their quarterback. The latest news is that the Packers won't agree to release Favre.
