Is Brett Favre going to retire this year?

I think if he were, he would have announced it already.  Last year he announced that he would be playing in 2005 at the Packers Fan Fest which was the 2nd weekend in March.  They haven't announced what players will be appearing at this year's Fest, but if he is there I wouldn't be surprised if he made his announcement then.  He has said he will definitely decide in time for the Packers to get ready for the draft in April.

I love the Packers! Great team!! Now that Mike Sherman is finally gone and they have a new coaching staff I think if they don't make it this year they will next year! The Packers have some of the greatest players but the defense coordinator, Jim Bates, called some stupid plays last year! Now for the new coach and new staff the Packers will do a lot better! Mike McCarthy is the head coach and just because he is the youngest coach and never been a head coach don't under estimate him! Packers will do something this year!!

Unless the Packers can improve greatly, yes.  I know he can still play, but Favre not a Packer would be like Montana not a Niner.  Just Wrong.

No he shouldnt.  He is (only) 37 years old and QB's can easily play to 40, especially for Favre who has caught the Ripken safety bug on being able to play as long as he has.\n\nHe is within a season or two of some very important passing records.\n\nThat being said, I think he would be better off on a contender as GB needs to find out if Rodgers it the guy or not.  You can't judge Rodgers' career on a partial game.  \n\nI'm trying to figure out what team he would be a good fit for, maybe Carolina, Jacksonville, or Denver next season, but chances are, he will finish his career in GB because he realizes his place in history and even though he started his NFL career with Atlanta, he wants to finish it with GB.\n\nWhile I am a die hard Lions fan, I too have enjoyed watching Favre play for the last 10+ seasons and hope he breaks the records held by Marino.

No.  He's done.  He should be happy he had such a rewarding career in professional football and retire quietly and proudly.  If he did hook up with one last team, he'd be scratching for the last roster spot against undrafted rookie free agents.  That would be pitiful.

It's simple.  You can't trade or cut a player like Favre because of his status with the team.  He's just like JoePa at Penn State.  Prior to last year, Penn couldn't fire him because of what he has meant to the organization.  EVERYONE wants Favre to retire as a Packer, including management.\n\nI think we as fans get crazy of Favre's indecision but because he is a general of the game and the team, he wouldn't do anything that would truly hurt the team.  He knows that he can only last one more year and they already have their QB of the future in Rodgers so that won't affect the draft.  Favre's indecision isn't going to hurt the team.  If he's coming back the Packers will take him with open arms.  If he doesn't, the Packers will give him a big hug goodbye, no hard feelings.

I think either after this season or next season he will retire. I think he wants to try and break Hank Aaron's record if he can.

Brett Favre - he won 3 straight '95-'97

I agree that he is playing for Marino's record now.  As long as he is still active, Green Bay will not be able to groom a new quarterback, which they desperately need to do.  The spectacle that he pulled last year keeping the team hanging while he made up his mind whether or  not to play this year was ridiculous.

Saw it and agree.  That's the first thing I thought of when I saw it.\nJuniors great career is over.  He'll be in the HOF,  and he went out swinging, but I know he could have went another year or two just the same.  Always liked his passion for the game.  He'll be missed by many football fans.

I think whether he'll retire depends on how much money a team offers him to play next season.

i actually think he is staying but the new Qb would be Rodgers.you guys are still in a rebuilding year.even if farve is back.

ladainian Tomlinson?! yeah right. It has to be Brett favre. The man is one of the greatest QBs in history. He should already be in the hall of fame but he hasn't retired yet. he has so many records and will go down in history somewhere in the top 10 best QBs ever list. I'm sorry but Ladainian has nothing on Brett Favre. In fact marshall faulk in his prime was way better than tomlinson ever was.

No .. Brett Favre will go down as Top 10 QB for those reasons but he is completion % is lower and turnover ratio is higher than other elite level QB's. Plus Favre only one 1 SB. \n\nI think a lot of experts now consider Elway to be the best of all-time, considering he won 2 SB's in his last two seasons.  Some think Tom Brady has shot to be considered the best all-time given the fact that he has won 3 SB so early in his career and his play has improved each season.  \n\nMy Top Ten of All-Time:\n\n1. John Elway\n2. Joe Montana\n3. Dan Marino\n4. Steve Young\n5. Otto Graham\n6. John Unitas\n7. Roger Staubach\n8. Jim Kelly\n9. Brett Favre\n10. Warren Moon

I would make sure Rodgers stays in the mix and has a say to keep up his attutude. I would keep him around for quite awhile, he seems to have a very mature attitiude about this thing and I like a level headed guy... Favre can still play but he will not commit long term and you must always have a contingency plan. Rodgers is still a young guy and you always need good backup at that position. I know the Pack have been very fortunate with Favre but I would caution on the side of error and keep Rodgers.

he just commented to the media the other day something to the effect that he'd really like to play another season but only if the packers started winning again.  i don't know if that's a yes or a no but it sure sounds like a definite maybe.  i'd really like to see him back for one more season because i think the past few years have been pretty rough for him with all the challenges in his personal life. i think they could have an awesome season if they could just stay focused on the game.
