Veteran quarterback Brett Favre has no plans to end his retirement at this point, according to Favre’s agent, Bus Cook.
Of course, Favre has been extremely prone to changing his mind in the past. And it’s worth nothing that Cook hasn’t always been completely forthcoming about Favre’s actual plans.
“We’ve all changed our minds, I guess,” Cook told the Associated Press today.
Without being asked about the Minnesota Vikings’ prospective interest in Favre, Cook went into full-blown sales mode.
“I would think they would pull out all the stops if they want to get the guy,” Cook said. “I think Brett Favre just brings a whole new ballgame to any ballclub. That’s no reflection on the guys that are on their team at quarterback right now, but Brett’s in a different league than most. … I don’t know what Minnesota will or won’t do. I don’t know what he will or won’t do.”
That comment would seem to indicate that Favre just might be interested in playing some more football and Cook just might be privy to that desire.
Meanwhile, Cook said that he couldn’t discuss the condition of Favre’s partially torn biceps because of client confidentiality. And he declined to elaborate on whether Favre has had surgery to repair the damage or is planning to have surgery.
“Right now there’s nothing to talk about,” Cook said. “As far as I know, Brett’s very content to be where he’s at, and that’s in Hattiesburg.”
Of course, that could all change in a Minnesota-to-Mississippi telephone call or vice versa.
