Via PFT comes this report from NFL Network’s Adam Schefter, who says retired/un-retired QB Brett Favre is going to retire again.

Schefter reports that Favre is leaning toward accepting the marketing and licensing deal (also known as a “bribe”) the Packers offered him. Fittingly, there’s this:
ESPN’s Ed Werder said earlier today that Favre was leaning toward rejecting the deal and showing up at training camp upon reinstatement from the commissioner.

Such is life for this drawn-out soap opera.

At some point, someone needs to make a decision. Either the Packers must trade or release Favre, or Favre needs to stop being this wishy-washy about retirement.

In his 17-year career, Favre has never been openly about the money. The fact that he’s even considering taking this deal shows me that he just isn’t sure what he wants to do.

Meanwhile, the Packers are sure. They’re sure they want to move into the 2008 season with Aaron Rodgers as their starting quarterback. No flip-flopping going on there.
