Fantasy Football: Could Brett Favre Return?

Fantasy Football: Could Brett Favre Return?

Brett Favre is considering coming out of retirement, according to an ESPN report. ESPN's Chris Mortensen said Wednesday that a Packers source told him the 38-year-old Favre told coach Mike McCarthy in the past two weeks that he has the itch to play.

"The Packers have no reaction," team spokesman Jeff Blumb told The Associated Press.

Favre's agent didn't return a message seeking comment.

Favre retired March 6 after a storied 17year career.

Cornerback Al Harris said on ESPN's "NFL Live" that Favre made similar comments to him.

As of now, the Packers plan to use Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback for the upcoming season, and he's been leading the team through organized team activities and minicamp.

According to the ESPN report, the Packers would be reluctant to open the door for Favre because "Brett retired for the right reasons, even though I know his family is tugging on him (to play)."
