Packers try to entice Favre to stay retired

Though NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is waiting at least one more day to reinstate Brett Favre, neither that extra time nor a $20 million offer from the team to stay retired will resolve the Green Bay Packers’ impasse with their record-setting quarterback or prevent him from reporting to training camp.
The Packers and Favre remain in a stalemate over Favre’s desire to be released because the Packers don’t want him at their training camp, and General Manager Ted Thompson’s refusal to waive him and inability to trade him to a team Favre wants to join.
