The 39 year old quarterback, Ending a record setting career in which he became one of the NFL's all-time greats.
told the New York Jets on Wednesday that he was retiring after 18 seasons.....
If this is indeed it for Favre, He leaves the game with a slew of records, including career touchdown passes 464, completions 5,720, yards passing 65,127, regular season victories 169 and only 310 interceptions. Favre's decision came six weeks after his only season with the Jets ended in disappointment as New York failed to make the playoffs. Brett made his decision to retire and thanked everybody and talked about what a great experience he had with the New York Jets. The longevity of his career and his love for the game is truly inspiring!!!
New York now will move forward with a new quarterback, whether that will be Kellen Clemens, Brett
Ratliff, Erik Ainge noone quite knows at this time. And let's not forget that they might even decide to go with a veteran free agent such as Jeff Garcia, Kerry Collins, Byron Leftwich or Rex Grossman. Farve helped rejuvenate the franchise, drawing thousands of fans to training camp practices. He finished the season and his career with 3,472 yards passing and 22 touchdowns. During his 16 seasons with Green Bay, he helped lead the Packers to consecutive Super Bowls, including a victory over New England in 1997. Whatever Mr. Farve chooses to do, we wish him the best in his life.
