It's being reported in Wisconsin that in late March, Brett asked if he could come back, MM and TT approved him coming back and chartered a plane for him to announce his return. At the last minute, he backed out. The team then prepares for life without him and now he wants to come back. What would you do if you were the Packers? I understand retirement is hard and when you do something your whole life at that level, sometimes you do need to be forced out, but Brett is leaving the organization no alternative than to take the actions they are taking. Also, the Packers Board of Directors supported moving on in late March.
