When quarterback Brett Favre turns in his retirement papers, the Packers will strike $11.4 million from payroll and quite possibly lead the NFL in available salary cap room. Favre has not yet filed his official papers, however, and it's unclear when he will. His agent, James "Bus" Cook, said he had no idea where Favre was in the process of filing the paperwork that would finalize his retirement.

What's he waiting for, another team to say please don't retire, play for us?
The retirement party is over. The Packer fans mourning is over. Brett, your football career is over.
File the papers, son.

It's one of his last real bites at the fame and attention apples.

Let him enjoy a little more drama as he gets ready for his new job as a talking head/casino greeter/card show attraction.

Has Jake Plummer filed for retirement yet? Just sign the paperwork and send it in Brett.

It's probably a hrd thing to do. Saying it is hard, but actually signing the papers, must be harder. It's not like it's the NBA when you can retire, un retire to make a trade happen, not play and be retired.

localboy, there is a deadline as the Packers want his 11M off the cap so they can pursue some free agents and sign draft picks.

I'm a Packer's fan. Favre, for the sake of the team, turn in your retirement papers. You made the announcement, just turn them in, cuz the Packers would like $11.7 million dollars more.
