Brett Favre Set to Retire
Although no
official
announcement has been made, Fox Sports and ESPN.com are reporting that Brett
Favre is retiring. ESPN's Chris
Mortensen reported that according to Favre's agent, Buss Cook, Favre informed
Packers coach Mike McCarthy of his decision Monday night.
Favre, who came to the Packers 17 years ago in a trade with
the Atlanta Falcons, holds nearly every record there is for a quarterback. His stats show an impressive 5,377 career completions in 8,758 attempts for
61,655 yards, 442 touchdowns and 288 interceptions. He broke Dan Marino's touchdown record this
past season. Favre was voted in to nine
Pro Bowls and led the team to two Super Bowl appearances.
As of Tuesday morning, Cook stated that there were no plans
for Favre to hold a press conference.
The official website of Brett Favre does not yet have confirmation, but is reporting on the story.
