The Minnesota Vikings have been confident that their starting quarterback Brett Favre, who has not made his final decision on his playing status in 2010 season, will return to play his 20th NFL season. The confidence is nothing about any underground contacts, but simply because the team signed a two-year contract with Favre in 2009 offseason.
You may think that Favre can choose not to finish that last year on the contract, but if he intended to do that, why did he still sign a two-year deal instead of a single-year one? Favre must have made the plan to play for his last two NFL seasons before retiring. Frustration after the NFC loss to the New Orleans Saints caused him to say that he was unlikely to play again in 2010, but self-esteem will anyway push him back to finish his last season. Favre is not a coward man fearing challenges. At age 40, he still managed to have one of his best seasons, so we still have reasons to believe that he could make a Super Bowl appearance at age 41.
No matter what reasons caused Favre to sign a two-year contract with the Vikings, the deal itself just showed the quarterback’s willingness to work with the team for as long as he could. That willingness would also bring Favre back into his No.4 Vikings jersey before the 2010 regular season.
