Brett Favre Signs with Minnesota Vikings, Ends Retirement

Brett Favre signed a deal with the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday, returning for retirement for the second time in as many years.

 

The deal will be worth between $10 to $12 million, according to reports.

 

The Vikings made it official with a news release early Tuesday afternoon. A news conference to introduce Favre, 39, is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET.

 

The Vikings sent a private plane to Hattiesburg to pick up Favre and his wife, Deanna. The couple arrived to cheering fans outside the team's practice facility and was in a helmet and pads less than 90 minutes later. His red practice jersey was the familiar No. 4, the same number he wore for years with his now-rival Green Bay Packers.

 

ESPN analyst Cris Carter reported that Childress already has told the Vikings that Favre would be starting in Friday night's preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs.


Favre joins an offense that is led by superstar running back Adrian Peterson, whom many consider to be the best running back in the NFL.
