It was a little different in 2008, because the Packers moved him to the retired list to get him off the Packers roster and salary cap. To get reinstated to the active roster, he had to file a request with the Commissioner, just like now. He kept asking to be released, and TT kept saying he could do nothing until Favre was back on the active roster, which required Favre to go through the Commish. It was up to Favre to get the ball going, so to speak. That went on all summer until just before Favre flew to GB. The Commish actually sat on Favre's request for a couple days to give the Packers and Favre time to talk.
