Brett Favre faxed his reinstatement letter to the NFL on Tuesday, according to a source close to Favre. Favre's actions now force Green Bay Packers GM Ted Thompson to make a decision. Favre said on Sunday that Thompson had pleaded with the quarterback not to show up at camp on Sunday, so that the situation could be resolved. "I asked Ted [Saturday], 'Am I welcome in the building if I report?' And Ted was just about shattered," Favre said. "He said, 'Brett, you can't do that -- you'll get me fired.' I told him I'm not trying to get anybody fired. So Ted asked me to let the guys report and let's try to resolve this over the next two or three days."
Favre has offered to compete for the starting job in training camp, but he said in Sunday's interview that he was told that is not an option.
"It's pretty clear -- and this is what I told the commissioner -- that they want me to go away, stay retired," Favre said.
