Brett Favre-QB- Packers Mar. 4 - 9:41 am et
FoxSports.com's Jay Glazer and the Biloxi Sun Herald's Al Jones report that Brett Favre has decided to retire.
Favre reportedly told the Packers within the past few days. The Packers haven't commented yet, which could indicate they are hoping he changes his mind. The fact Favre told his close friend Jones, however, indicates Favre is ready to go public. If this is truly it, Favre goes out after one of his best seasons, albeit with a painful playoff ending. Aaron Rodgers finally gets his chance to lead the Packers.

Aaron Rodgers will become the starting quarterback of the Packers following Brett Favre's retirement.
Adding uncertainty and downgraded values to Donald Driver, James Jones, and Greg Jennings. We'll hear a lot of opinions on Rodgers, but no one truly knows how he'll perform. He's improved in preseason play and looked solid in a 2007 relief effort, but he also suffered injuries the last two times he's played significant minutes.
