Longwell says Favre won’t return
Even an NFL lockout and a second retirement can’t stop Brett Favre comeback-rumor season when July rolls around.
Longtime Dallas Cowboys executive Gil Brandt addressed another possible Favre comeback in an NFL.com live chat Tuesday, setting Internet search engines ablaze.
“I do think Favre would be interested in talking to a team about returning,” Brandt said. “But I don't see a team out there right now that would bring him back as a starter. It's awfully hard for (Favre) to go to a team and be a backup. The Vikings must start Christian Ponder this season to get him some experience. And they're not going to get Favre in there to babysit Ponder.”
But one of Favre’s best friends, Vikings kicker Ryan Longwell, may be a better source of information than Brandt. In an interview with FoxSportsNorth.com’s Ann Carroll that was posted on that site Wednesday, Longwell said Favre is plenty content in retirement.
“I talk to him at least once a week,” Longwell said. “We are good friends. He is doing great; his family is doing great. He is really excited about not having any questions about whether he is coming back or not, there is no doubt. He is really doing well.”
