Reports out of Minnesota are that Brett Favre has been offered $20 million by the Minnesota Vikings to play one more season. This news comes after Favre reportedly texted his teammates goodbye messages, informing them that he is calling it quits for the third time in his career. The Vikings, nor Favre have made any official retirement announcements as of yet.

The Vikings are said to be willing to offer Favre a $16 million contract to play for them this coming season. In addition to the guaranteed money, there are incentives worth up to $4 million if Favre were to meet certain goals. He was set to make $13 million this season under the terms of his current contract.

If Favre does return to the Vikings for his 20th season, he will be 41 years old. Questions concerning his left ankle, which was operated on in the off season, will certainly arise. Favre has told teammates that it has not healed as well as he had expected, and this was the reason he has decided to retire. We shall wait and see what the ultimate decision is for Favre, who only has a couple weeks remaining before the Vikings first preseason game.
