NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has reinstated Brett Favre into the NFL.
Presumably, this ends any chance of Favre taking the Packers' $20 million marketing offer to stay retired.
"ESPN's Wendi Nix reported from Green Bay that Favre's plane was scheduled to touch down at 6:30 ET, though he didn't plan to attend the sold-out Packers Family Night at Lambeau Field, which more than 60,000 fans were expected to attend," according to ESPN's website.
With a day off on Monday, the Packers don't actually practice until Tuesday again. It certainly is a media circus all the time, but it shouldn't hit fever pitch until Tuesday. It's possible that some sort of agreement, arangement or trade could come before then.

I will never understand how Mike Mccarthy could predict Favre would want to come back in March and then have the Packers completely blindsided by just that happening. To understand a competitive athlete's nature that well and yet completely misunderstand him in so many other ways .... Now they've had a month to puzzle a plan out, to swallow the inevitability of something happening that doesn't fit Thompson's immaculate vision. Lets see if they can work it out. There's really only two choices, and they are the same two choices they've had for a month: let Brett compete with Rodgers or trade him to the Vikes. Beating Favre back into retirement is no longer an option, and should have never been, at least, shouldn't have been the top of the list.
The whole mess is always one step from being corrected and dealt with.
