GREEN BAY - The current and former team presidents of the Packers both believe Brett Favre will remain retired and won't come back for an 18th season in the NFL.
According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, current team president and CEO Mark Murphy and chairman emeritus Bob Harlan said they took the 38-year-old QB at his word when he said in March that he was done with pro football.
"I keep going back to his retirement announcement and how sincere and heartfelt that was," said Murphy at an event in Fond Du Lac, Wis. "I think it's pretty reasonable that, as an organization, we're going to move on."
The Packers have yet to publicly address reports that Favre, who announced his retirement on March 6, again has "the itch" to play football.
Said Harlan: "What I remember about him is he was ready to retire, and that's how I feel today. I think down deep, that's exactly how he feels."
