Brett Favre To Remain Retired

Brett Favre has made the decision to remain retired instead of playing this season for the Minnesota Vikings.

In a written statement on the teams website Vikings Coach Brad Childress said:

“It was a rare and unique opportunity to consider adding not only a future Hall of Fame quarterback but one that is very familiar with our system and division. That does not detract from the team that we have. As we have consistently communicated, we feel good about our team and they have put forth a tremendous effort this offseason preparing for the season ahead. With this behind us, we look forward to getting to Mankato and getting training camp under way.”

The Vikings are scheduled to report to training camp Thursday and Favre had promised a decision by then.

Favre’s decision was first reported by the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
