As reports of text messages and an "itch" to return continue to add intrigue to the Brett Favre saga, the Green Bay Packers still think their iconic former quarterback plans to stay retired.
"What I remember about him is he was ready to retire, and that's how I feel today. I think down deep, that's exactly how he feels," team chairman Bob Harlan said, according to the Green Bay Press-Gazette.
The Packers team bus made a tour stop Wednesday in Fond du Lac, Wisc., where Harlan, president and CEO Mark Murphy and players answered questions about the status of the nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback.
"I keep going back to his retirement announcement and how sincere and heartfelt that was," Murphy said, according to the Press-Gazette. "I think it's pretty reasonable that, as an organization, we're going to move on."
Favre announced his retirement on March 4, but he continually emphasized that he felt he could still play in the NFL.
It didn't take long for rumors of that possibility to start.
