Brett Favre, quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, has been reinstated by the NFL and will report to training camp on Monday. Favre announced his retirement back in March, after leading the Packers to a 13-3 record and a trip to the NFC Championship game. His last pass that he attempted was intercepted by Corey Webster of the New York Giants in that game that sent the Giants to the Super Bowl. After the announcement of his retirement, the Packers announced that Aaron Rodgers would be the starting quarterback. Favre said that he was pressured into making a decision quickly. The decision he made at the time, according to him, was the way he felt about going another season. In his thinking, he felt he couldn't last another training camp and another season. That changed over the course of the offseason. He contacted the Packers about returning, in which the team wasn't so welcoming. They constantly told Favre and the media that Rodgers would be the starting quarterback and they were working out a deal in which Favre would be paid to stay retired. Favre did not accept that offer and sent his reinstatement letter to the league office. Commissioner Roger Goodell did not approve the reinstatement immediately in order for the Packers and Favre to work out a deal. Will Favre's arrival be a distraction? Who will be the starting quarterback at the start of the season?
