Sirius' Adam Shein then asked: "So any team can sign him including Minnesota." McCarthy responded: "I think that's the way it works. Free agent. That's part of the rules of the game. ..." Also: Profootballtalk.com's Mike Florio, linking to the
Flightaware.com site, notes that one of the five planes landing in Favre's hometown (Hattiesburg, Miss.) airport yesterday was a small private jet charter
that arrived from Minneapolis in the morning and that returned to Minnesota later in the day. ... Meanwhile, we'll remind you that much like they did
upon initial reports of his return last year, Favre and agent James "Bus" Cook continue to say
Favre won't return while Vikings owner Zygy Wilf recently said
he wouldn't be interested either way. ... We recommend staying tuned anyhow.
