Fantasy football QB - Brett Favre

The Green Bay Packers aren't pressuring Brett Favre to make a retirement decision by the April 1 due date for a $3 million roster bonus. "If I don't tell them by Saturday, what will they do, cut me?" Favre told the Sun Herald in Gulfport, Miss.

Favre's retirement plans have turned into pro football's version of Groundhog Day, as fans try to predict the future based upon brief public glimpses of Favre during the winter.

The April 1 bonus due date recently has been interpreted as a deadline from the team's management for Favre to make a decision. If he does return, he told a newspaper in his native Mississippi there is "no doubt" it will be his last season.

Favre said he wants to play again but will return only if the Packers can assemble a winning team. Favre said some days he wants to play and other days he wants to retire. Knowing he can still compete at a high level is making the decision tough, he said.

QB Aaron Rodgers, the team's first-round draft pick last season, is presumed to be in line to take over the starting role if Favre retires. But Thompson said the team would look to add a more experienced quarterback, possibly through a trade, if Favre goes.
