Brett Favre Quarterback Brett Favre will not play his 20th season of football. Favre, according to StarTribune.com, will retire.
Seriously.
Reporter Judd Zulgad writes Favre began informing Vikings personnel late Monday night that he has decided to retire for a third time.
Seriously.
Favre's agent, Bus Cook, did not immediately respond to text messages, nor did Vikings official. The Vikings were on the field Tuesday morning for practice, with coach Brad Childress set to address the media at 11:30.
The Vikings' ownership group, in town for two days of meetings, huddled on the playing field with vice presidents Rob Brzezinski and Rick Spielman.
Favre has been unwilling to commit to playing a 20th NFL season, in large part because he has felt his left ankle has not responded the way he hoped after undergoing surgery in late May. However, many assumed Favre was simply buying time, as he appeared to a year ago.
But last year, Favre told coach Brad Childress he was retiring days before training camp opened but then changed his mind on Aug. 18 and joined the Vikings after one preseason game.
So we've been down this path before.
