The Facts:
The Packers will retire Favre’s No. 4 jersey at some point, and team president and CEO Mark Murphy envisions a day when Favre is once again part of the family. But given the messy divorce between Favre and the Packers last year, the reconciliation — and the ceremony — probably won’t happen this year. “I don’t anticipate it this season,” Murphy said Saturday.

Murphy added: “Obviously we will do it. We’ve made that commitment. He deserves to have his number retired. I just think both sides need some time. ...” Besides, Murphy joked, who’s to say Favre won’t change his mind yet again? All kidding and past acrimony aside, Murphy said Favre will be welcomed back when both sides decide that the time is right. “He’ll be a member of our family long-term,” Murphy said. Assuming Favre really stays retired this time, there’s a possibility that a future reconciliation with the Packers could include a financial arrangement.
