Favre Saga May Be Soon Over

After a month of turmoil, specualtion and constant rumors, it appears the Brett Favre saga may soon come to an end. And it could end where it started.

In an article from ESPN.com, Favre understands that the Packers will not allow him to come to camp to compete for his old starting job, nor will they allow him to go to Minnesota, his prefered destination, insteading sending him to the Jets, a team he wants no part of. So, Favre may JUST STAY RETIRED!!

Favre "is actively considering an offer from the Packers that would provide the quarterback a paid lifetime role with the franchise that would not involve playing."
'"There isn't a perfect solution to this, but [Packers president] Mark Murphy is at least trying," Favre told ESPN's Ed Werder via text message on Thursday night. "We know what they want and where I stand. His solution, although awkward and unsettling for most, may be the best in the end.''' (Favre. ESPN.com News Service).

Murphy offered Favre $20 million over 10 years to not show up to camp and to stay out off an NFL playing field forever.

Still Favre wants to play, but has yet to hear from Commisoner Roger Goodell about reinstatement. Once he gets the ok, Favre is expecting to report to training camp, where the Packers can force him to no be the backup.

"Favre could be forced to report to camp unless the Packers reach agreement with him on a non-playing role before commissioner Roger Goodell reinstates him. He has at least until Friday to resolve this standoff after Goodell opted earlier on Thursday to delay granting the quarterback his reinstatement one day."

Favre has canceled a charter to Green Bay until the NFL acts. The NFL wants the Packers and Favre to solve this first, before he is reinstated. Still, Favre could take the money and walk away from the game for good. This would seem to be humilating to Favre, who has dragged this out too long. Plus, it is time for the NFL to just reinstate him, so he can get what he really wants, and that is to play.
