Where Will Brett Favre Play in 2011

Or Will This Finally Be the Year that His Retirement Sticks?

Adam Hughes
Now that Brett Favre has delivered his annual retirement/farewell speech, we can safely turn our gaze to his options for 2011. Since we know now that he'll never truly leave the limelight , where might Favre play next season? Here are some of the possibilities.

Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans, Seattle Seahawks
All of these teams have unsettled and unproductive quarterback situations, so what do they have to lose by taking a flyer on Favre? He can pick up where Curt Warner left off in Arizona or battle Kerry Collins or Matt Hasselbeck for geriatric minutes in Tennessee or Seattle.

Miami Dolphins, San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos
All of these teams are rumored to be hot on the trail of coach Jim Harbaugh, so they each make some sense for Favre, as well. Harbaugh could let Favre run wild on the field and deflect some of the media attention from the coach while Harbaugh installs his system. Coach might even be rewarded with a few wins for his trouble. Plus, how cool would it be to have Harbaugh, Favre and John Elway as part of the same organization at the same time?

Oakland Raiders
No slow and excruciating demise of a Hall-of-Fame career would be complete without at least one season in Al Davis' madhouse. Plus, Oakland is another possible Harbaugh destination.

Chicago Bears
Unable to unseat Jay Cutler as the starter, Favre could demand a mid-season trade to the Detroit Lions, thus completing his tour of the NFC North.

Minnesota Twins
Taking a page from Michael Jordan, circa 1994 , Favre could try is hand with the horsehide. If, like Jordan, Favre is unable to hit the curveball, maybe he could throw one instead.

Oak Grove High School
Favre really seems to like practicing with the youngsters at this high school near his home in Hattiesburg, MS. Maybe this season, he can trade Sunday afternoon passes for the Friday night lights.

This list barely scratches the surface on where Brett Favre might turn up next fall. From reality TV to golf tournaments to politics, the possibilities are nearly endless. The only sure bet is that we haven't seen the last of old Number 4.
