Sorry I’ve missed the first part of the Brett-Favre-returns discussion, but it’s clear we will be talking about this for several weeks. Check back often for updates/news/commentary.
Fascinating discussion today on Sirius NFL Radio with Tim Ryan and Pat Kirwan.

Kirwan also believes there is very little trade market for Favre (I’m skeptical of that) — and that Favre will either be back with the Packers or released.
