    This is gonna fuck team chemistry especially if he doesn't come back...they've already got Al Harris in studio saying he would welcome Favre back with open arms.

    How fucked is Aaron Rodgers?

    Brett Favre-QB- Packers Jul. 2 - 5:48 pm et


    Citing a league source, the Wisconsin State Journal reports that Brett Favre requested his release from the Packers "within the past few weeks."

    Either Favre or his agent, Bus Cook, reportedly contacted the Packers to inform them of his intentions to play again. When the Packers said they've moved on, Favre demanded to be released. The Packers refused. GM Ted Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy are currently on vacation and unavailable for comment. The Packers hold all the power here and if they continue to exercise it, the situation could get ugly.

    Brett Favre-QB- Packers Jul. 2 - 4:18 pm et


    ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that Brett Favre has told coach Mike McCarthy that he has thought about playing this year.

    Had to know this day was coming. The comeback talk is reportedly only in preliminary stages, but Favre's family is encouraging him to play. Cornerback Al Harris says Favre told him he still "has the itch" to play. This situation could turn thorny. The Packers own Favre's rights, but we'd guess that the front office would simply rather move forward with Aaron Rodgers. The coaching staff may lean more towards Favre. Favre could subsequently push for his release, something Mort mentions. "Brett's a high-quality person and he's not going to push it that far," a team source said. "He'll do the right thing [and stay retired]."

    Brett Favre-QB- Packers Jul. 2 - 3:32 pm et


    Former NFL personnel man Mike Lombardi writes in his blog that one Packers player told him Brett Favre is giving "real consideration" to making a return.

    Lombardi, a 20-year veteran executive, recently worked in the Raiders' and Broncos' front offices, writes for SI.com and started a blog a few months back. He doesn't have the same standards as bigger news sources, but undoubtedly has connections. The Packer told Lombardi that Favre would consider returning with another team if Green Bay won't take him back. Favre was recently placed on the reserve/retired list, however, and the Packers own his rights.

    Let him come back and play for some bad team that needs a QB bad enough to take him. He deserves the chance to flame out on a bad team and tarnish his legacy just as much as the next QB.
