According to a source with the Packers, Brett Favre will likely be back in 2008. The source says that Favre has been having more fun than ever and that he would be shocked if he didn't return.
Favre has all the weapons he needs to succeed. He has strong receivers in Donald Driver and Greg Jennings, and then solid No. 3 & 4 options in rookie James Jones and Koren Robinson. Ruvell Martin also provides the necessary fifth receiver. The Packers started the season without a running game, but found one in Ryan Grant, who has been the NFL's leading rusher after Week 8. The Packers still have depth behind Grant with Vernand Morency and rookies DeShawn Wynn and Brandon Jackson, both of which struggled with injuries in their rookie campaigns. The Packers also have another weapon for Favre in tight end Donald Lee.
The offensive line seems it could be a problem next season. Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher are getting older and the Packers have no clear backups behind them. The young guys (Daryn Colledge, Jason Spitz, Junius Coston, and Allen Barbre) all have potential for next season. They all performed admirably this season, but sometimes not quite up to the level needed.
The only area where the defense could be hurting is in the secondary, as Charles Woodson and Al Harris are 31 and 33, respectively. The secondary is the main area the Packers need to focus on strengthening next season.
So there we have it, Favre might be back next year.
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!
I might not be able to post one tomorrow because of Christmas.
Thanks.
