Brett Favre has reportedly told a number of his Minnesota Viking teammates that he will not play in the 2010 season, NFL sources told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Several other reports confirm that Favre has decided to retire a third time, but the team is trying to convince the future Hall of Famer to come back for one more year.
Neither Bus Cook, Favre’s agent, nor Vikings coaches or personnel men have officially commented on the situation yet. Favre reportedly started calling Vikings personnel late Monday night and informing them he would not be back, citing too much wear on his body.
Coach Brad Childress is expected to address the media at 11:30 a.m. after the team’s morning practice.
Favre, who will turn 41 in October, had been debating whether to play a 20th NFL season. In 2009, he threw for 4,202 yards, 33 touchdowns and a career-low seven interceptions.
