After a tumultuous end to his 16-year career with the Green Bay Packers, which included a two-season stint with the division rival Minnesota Vikings, Brett Favre is finally going back to Lambeau Field. Earlier today, Favre shared a message on his website that he will return to his old stomping grounds and have his No. 4 jersey retired by the Packers organization.
I'm pleased to announce that I will be returning to Green Bay, Wisconsin in 2015 for induction into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame and retirement of my jersey.
It was a tremendous honor to play 16 years for the Green Bay Packers. Now to have my name placed among others such as Starr, Hornung, Kramer, Taylor, Lambeau, Nitschke, Lombardi, Davis, White and Hutson is a special honor that I share with all of my teammates and coaches, and that would not have been possible but for the foresight of Ron Wolf, the greatest GM In the history of the NFL.
I'm truly looking forward to celebrating and sharing this special moment with all of the great fans of the Green Bay Packers.
Go Packers!
Brett
Since calling it quits for good after the 2010 season, Favre and the Packers have been able to slowly but surely resolving their tension with each other. Now, it appears their amicable relationship has taken a step in the right direction with Brett willing to step back into the Frozen Tundra. While the date hasn't been decided just yet, one thing is for sure, this is going to be must-see TV.
