The Minnesota Vikings will not sign free-agent quarterback Brett Favre(notes), a source close to the team told Yahoo! Sports on Thursday.

The source said Favre told Vikings coach Brad Childress that he wanted to remain retired in a phone call that took place sometime in the last day. Favre is expected to publicly explain his decision soon.

Favre retired after the 2008 season, which he spent with the New York Jets. There was speculation that the Vikings were interested in bringing in a veteran to compete with Sage Rosenfels(notes), who was acquired this offseason from the Houston Texans. Rosenfels is atop the depth chart heading into training camp, with Tavaris Jackson and John David Booty(notes) also on the roster.

Bad news for McFarlane's business. A Favre Vikings figure was a guaranteed money maker.

Until they made the correct version then decided to go back and make 1/3 GB Jersey, 1/3 Jets jersey, and 1/3 Vikings Jersey. We'd probably end up with a Purple Helmet, Green Shirt, and White pants with a green stripe and jets. LOLROF


Sorry I'm still not believing they got the Hamilton figure correct then went back and on purpose fuhked it up. LOL

I was looking forward to the season opener, where they show Brett in Minneapolis playing the Mary Tyler Moore theme song and he throws his helmet up in the air.

Yeah right. Brette will change her mind at least 3 or 4 more times.

Wait until after OTA's before celebrating. He doesn't like participating in any offseason workouts so look for his name to be back in the news around June 1st.
