The Packers and Brett Favre did not part ways on the best of terms.

However, the organization is reportedly open to re-establishing a relationship with its long-time starting quarterback.

Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy told Paul Imig of FoxSportsWisconsin.com Wednesday that the club would be amenable to having Favre “back involved in the organization soon.”

“We want to have (Favre) back in the family,” Murphy said, per FoxSportsWisconsin.com.

At the NFL meetings in March, Murphy also expressed the organization’s willingness to get along with Favre, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Also, in April, Favre, according to ESPN Milwaukee, told 1310 AM in Dallas that he would “one day” return to Green Bay.

Murphy has said that retiring Favre’s jersey is a matter of when, not if.
