While most of us are expecting the legendary quarterback Brett Favre to wear back his No.4 Minnesota Vikings jersey, few people seem like to see him back with his old team, the Green Bay Packers, even though the quarterback himself actually wants to be with the green and gold instead of the purple and gold.
Some rumors spread recently to say that Packers told one of his close friends that he was actually attempting to play with the Packers again before retiring. It’s a reasonable guess, if it is, as Favre spent most seasons, 16, of his NFL career with the Packers before announcing his first retirement in 2008 offseason. We know that he later chose to sign with the New York Jets and retired again in 2009 offseason before signing with the Vikings. Favre had his best season in 2009 but did not make it to Super Bowl and finished the season with a lingering ankle injury that may require a surgery. It seems that Favre plans to play for one more season before a real retirement, and he wants to spend the last one with the team he loves most, the Packers, who acquired him from the Atlanta Falcons in 1992 offseason and gave him trust and starting job.
Without the chance given by the Packers, Favre could have developed into one of the best quarterbacks in the league. However, even if he wants to wear back Packers style of Brett Favre jersey, Packers fans would unlikely forgive him for what he did in 2009, when the Vikings led by Favre beat the Packers twice.
