After a rocky season with the New York Jets, quarterback Brett Favre has decided to retire, his agent says.

The decision marks Favre's second retirement announcement in an 11-month span. Favre retired from the Green Bay Packers in March 2008 before reconsidering and making a comeback with the Jets.

His decision comes six weeks after the Jets finished 9-7 and missed the playoffs after an 8-3 start. Favre threw 22 touchdown passes and an NFL-high 22 interceptions while leading New York to a five-game improvement over their previous season without him.

Favre's retirement will save the Jets his $13 million salary in salary cap space.

A 10-time Pro Bowl selection, Favre set numerous NFL records during his 18 years with the Falcons, Packers and Jets. He retires with the career records for most touchdown passes (464), most passing yards (65,127), most pass completions (5,720), most pass attempts (9,280), most interceptions thrown (310), most consecutive starts among NFL quarterbacks (269; 291 total starts including playoffs), and most victories as a starting quarterback (169).

He won the Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player award in 1995, '96 and '97, becoming the first player to earn the distinction in three different seasons.

The Jets did not immediately comment on Favre's decision.

Eh, no.

I heard that his agent floated out some comment about how if the Jet's were to release him he'd consider playing for the ViQueens.

I finally wash my hands of the loser. A great player, but not much more than that. no.gif

No, No. He likes to wait until most of the mini-camps are over with so he doesn't have to lower himself to work out alongside the inferior players.

He needs to gracefully bow out this time. Leave it with the fantastic career he had with Green Bay.

Maybe younger players will look at him and Eddie George and realize that it's NOT SO BAD to retire a KING in your home instead of chasing the almighty dollar and whoring yourself out to the biggest bidder.
