The simple fact is, the Packers don't need Favre right now. They will never need him as much as they thought they would three years ago when they offered him the post-retirement contract. The Super Bowl win, the play of Aaron Rodgers and Fvare's own words and actions took care of that. The Packers will give Favre his day, but it won't be for a few years. The Packers won't allow it to distract from what the team did last season. They will probably try to do it before his induction at Canton, but they might just wait until that same year, depending on what the team does between now and then. If the team has a bad season, the following year might be a good time to give Favre his day.
