The Green Bay Packers won't have to wait until the start of free agency again to learn the future of their star quarterback.

Future Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre has decided to return to the team in 2007 and told team brass of his decision earlier today, sources close to Favre told FOXSports.com.


Favre himself ascertained as much in an interview with the Biloxi Sun Herald.

"I am so excited about coming back," Favre told the newspaper. "We have a good nucleus of young players. We were 8-8 last year and that's encouraging."

Favre is down in his home state of Mississippi and has had multiple talks with team officials this off-season. Unlike last year, when Favre allowed his decision to linger through rumor upon rumor, this year he's being much more team-friendly in letting his teammates know his deal.

Last year's mess started at the Super Bowl with wideout Donald Driver telling radio stations Favre was going to retire. Then, a rumor ran rampant that Favre would announce his retirement at a golf tournament, only to have a non-announcement rain on the gathered media's parade.

It is unclear when Favre or the team will make an official announcement about the decision.

Following the Packers' season finale against the Bears on New Year's Eve, Favre uncharacteristically become very emotional on national TV in an interview with NBC's Andrea Kreamer. After posing for a photo with his offensive line, Favre had difficulties getting through his answers and at the time it certainly seemed as if he had played his last game.

"It's tough. It's tough," Favre said in that interview. "I'm going to miss these guys and miss the game. Just wanted to let them know that. I wasn't planning on doing this, either."

However, something must have changed his mind since then.

During this past season head coach Mike McCarthy tried to convince Favre to return, as the new head coach felt the living legend was part of the solution, not the problem. The team went as far as giving Favre an office in their facility to get his work done.

Late last season Favre seemed pleased with the direction of the team, especially the growth of some younger players. Unlike the previous season when the quarterback didn't know what much of his personnel will be, that question is now taken out of the equation. Green Bay had a much better season than many prognosticators predicted and the team was even in the playoff hunt late into the season.

Favre= Most. OverRated. Quarterback. Ever.

[Dr. Blasphemy]

I know I spelled FAVRE wrong in the title thread..blow me!

[KingMob]

not a surprise, but anyone being excited about this news is a little questionable.

[J.D. Lombardi]

Yes! I'm just happy for my uncle Vince....oh yeah, he don't coach anymore.











(no, he isn't really my uncle, either)

Dude, I have been a Packers fan for quite a long time (them and The Browns),
So this is great news for me...Shut up!


And to say Favre is over-rated is just silly on your behalf....

They were really making a strong showing at the end of the season. I hope they have one last great year in them. It would be nice if Farve could go out on a high.

I fondly remember watching Favre cry on the sidelines in 2001 after the Rams humiliated him att he dome.

[Brian Defferding]

Wow, I'm actually surprised to hear this. After he delayed surgery after the season was over I thought that was a big sign right there.

That's fine by me, now the Pack just needs to get a better receiving corps; Donal Driver can't be his only go-to guy.

I like Favre. I really do. But I think this is actually better news for Packers opponents considering his returns are diminishing.
