Would the Packers want Favre back?
We all knew this day was coming. Brett Favre sorta maybe kinda thinks he wants to play football again. His family reportedly supports the decision. There is no doubt his Packers teammates would love him back. Packers fans would celebrate. His coach Mike McCarthy would probably love to take one last run with the legend. Even other NFL teams may like to see Favre return. But none of the above have the power to decide to let Favre back, if he really wanted to scratch that "itch to play" again.
GM Ted Thompson runs the Packers. And the Packers have built this entire offseason on moving on from Favre, something Thompson was ready for. I doubt Thompson wants Favre back.
"Brett's a high-quality person and he's not going to push it that far," a team source told Chris Mortensen. "He'll do the right thing [and stay retired]."
In the quietest of times during the NFL news cycle, leave it up to Brett Favre to stir up some soap opera worthy drama. Somewhere, Aaron Rodgers is stewing.
Update:According to the Wisconsin State Journal, they don't want him back. And won't release him.

I like Favre but how many times can you do a melodramatic tearful farewell and then change your mind and come back again? Maybe this is just media hype but if its not it makes you wonder about his mental stability, its like a bad soap opera. If he does come back, as a football fan I surely hope it wouldn't be for any other team than Green Bay, that would be wrong on so many levels that I hate to even consider it.

I hope he plays for Atlanta.
And it all comes full circle.
Poetic and ridiculous. Just like Fav-RA

Andrew - if you want us to check out your site... act like any reputable company would and purchase some ad space.
Gregg - can you edit out folks that hijake a thread with unsolicited advertising posts like my man Andrew's?

Andrew can probably be a little more subtle about it, maybe just leaving the link below.

I don't remember Favre calling a press conference and saying I want to play. Why he gets blamed for all the "meladrama" I have no idea. He waited on deciding to retire in the past because he wasn't ready to decide. Maybe these people should get lives and not worry about it.
