Favre Watch 2008: He'll be Reinstated Monday

This just in. The Packers made an announcement this afternoon.

From Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy.

"Sixteen years after Brett Favre came to the Packers, he is returning for a seventeenth season. He has had a great career with our organization and although we built this year around the assumption that Brett meant what he said about retiring, Brett is coming back.

We will welcome him back and turn this situation to our advantage. Frankly, Brett's change of mind put us in a very difficult spot. We now will revise many actions and assumptions about our long-term future, all predicated on Brett's decision last March to retire. As a result of his decision, we invested considerably in a new and different future without Brett and we were obviously moving in that direction. That's why this wasn't easy.

Having crossed the Rubicon once when Brett decided to retire, it's very difficult to reorient our plans and cross it again in the opposite direction - but we'll put this to our advantage. Brett will be in camp tomorrow.

Although there has been uncertainty regarding Brett's return, Ted Thompson and Coach McCarthy had previously discussed this and have a plan in place. Coach McCarthy will talk to the team and the quarterbacks about the plan moving forward, and after he has done that we will share it publicly.

No matter what, I look forward to another successful season for the Packers and our fans.
This has been a tough situation, but the Packers will make the most of it."

What are your thoughts?

NFL channel is reporting that Favre is flying to Green Bay Sunday Night, and he plans to compete for the starting QB job in GB. The Packers could absolutly still wind up trading Favre, and his 12 Million Dollar base salery....ouch (hello salary cap)

A very politically correct announcement from Packer headquarters - but hardly unexpected after this weekend of stories and reports. Brett will be going back but I hardly think the Packers will be 'welcoming' him home.

With the milti-million dollar contracts that are being thrown around this year I don't see why not. More people are talking about the Packers this week than ever before. This could turn out to be a benefit to the team in buzz advertising. We will see how it plays out in ticket sales this year.
