Superstar football player Brett Favre is reportedly rethinking his retirement, which he had announced last month.
A longtime Green Bay Packers quarterback, Favre, 38, who has played 17 seasons in the NFL, is looking into signing with another team, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Favre has not yet given his official retirement notice to the league or players' union, a move the newspaper deemed not uncommon, particularly for a player like Favre who is not in immediate need of his pension money.
James "Bus" Cook, Favre's agent, told the newspaper he wasn't aware Favre was interested in returning to the game.
"That's news to me," Cook said to the Los Angeles Times. "I don't think that has anything to do with anything. He's retired, period, point blank."
Favre's rights still belong to the Packers, so they can opt to trade him. He supposedly retired partly due to his frustrations that the Packers did not try harder to sign All-Pro receiver Randy Moss. The Packers had two opportunities to do so, and Moss was eventually re-signed a three-year, $27-million deal with the New England Patriots.
Cook denied a correlation between Favre's retirement and Green Bay's failure to sign Moss.
"As far as Randy's deal with New England, there were never any negotiations with Green Bay," Cook said. "As far as I know, Brett retired because he was tired and burned out."
