Green Bay Packers quarterback informed the team in the last few days. ESPN.com said that according to Favre's agent, Bus Cook, the quarterback told coach Mike McCarthy of his decision.
Cook said in a phone interview today with The Associated Press' Jackson, Miss., bureau that Favre told him the news Monday night .
"Nobody pushed Favre out the door but then nobody encouraged him not to go out that door either," said Cook.
He said Favre was tired and "the Packers have got future plans and whether those plans included Brett I don't know. "
He said Favre was in Hattiesburg, Miss., where he has property, but Cook knew of no plans for a news conference.
Only two years removed from perhaps his worst season, Favre had a resurgence in 2007. He broke several career records. Among them was Dan Marino's career mark for career touchdown passes. He powered the Packers to an NFC North title and a 13-3 regular-season record. He was named to his ninth Pro Bowl.
