quarter back Brett Favre has officially stated that he will return to the Minnesota

According to league sources, quarter back Brett Favre has officially stated that he will return to the Minnesota Vikings for a 20th NFL season.The three time MVP was back on the practice field today, less than 24 hours after the team sent Steve Hutchinson, Jared Allen, and Ryan Longwell to Mississippi in order to bring him back.While I replica Breitling Windrider Cockpit Men's watch believe he would have come back eventually, regardless, it was definitely a good insurance policy.Earlier this month, Favre reportedly texted teammates that he was planning to call it quits, primarily due to a rehabilitation process from a left ankle surgery that was progressing slower than expected.Of course, the enticing opportunity to win his second title won out in the end.

Furthermore, he said he, “owed it to the organization to give it one more try.”The Vikings' season last year came to an abrupt halt when Favre threw an interception during overtime in their NFC Championship matchup against the New Orleans Saints.“As we were driving on that last drive it seemed like it was destiny for us. I was so replica Breitling A7135612-G5-780A watch close, so close to getting these guys to the Super Bowl.”Now that he's back, the Vikings have yet another shot to march on to the big game.On the other hand, we should all expect him to be fully prepared for the regular season opener, even though he was away from the organization all summer.Last year, Favre had one of the best statistical seasons of his career, despite enduring a similar process as he has this year.

And although he missed all of training camp, he still managed to throw for 4,202 yards and 33 touchdowns.At the same time, the soon to be 41 year old quarter back said he wasn't guaranteeing that he would be able to last another full season.“I can't promise you I can make it through the season. I couldn't promise that to you when I was 21.”What he replica Breitling Windrider Starliner Ladie's watch did promise, though, was that 2010 2011 would be his final season in the NFL.Making that a little more probable is the fact that the two year, $25 million deal that Favre signed last year, when he originally joined the Vikings, expires at the end of this season.On a side note, the Minneapolis Star Tribune has reported that the Vikings are prepared to award Favre a pay raise that, with incentives, could make his services worth nearly $20 million, which is $7 million more than his current base salary.
