I'll take MM and Brett word for it, before I take someone guessing because Brett hasn't turned in his paperwork yet.
IMO, he might rethink it, but why would he go anywhere else but Green Bay, really? We are young and improving, we have as good a chance as anyone in the league.. yes even the Patzies.. that defense has grown old and stripped of parts the last couple of years.
I might buy into a slight beef with Favre and TT,maybe, but I think MM and Favre's relationship is rock solid.. IMO.

Palm Beach, Fla. - Quarterback Brett Favre has retired, but he's not completely out of pocket.
Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy said he talked to Favre a couple times last week and the quarterback seems to be doing fine. He said the issue of Favre turning in his retirement papers came up.
"I talked to Brett the other day," McCarthy said Wednesday during an NFC coaches media breakfast at the NFL owners meetings. "He even made a joke about it, 'Do you guys need that cap room?' I said, 'I think we're OK.' He goes, 'I have to file those papers.' And I said, 'Yeah, but it's not really for time. I don't know what the severance pay is, but hell, after 17 years I think you'd have a pretty good nugget coming.'
"So, we kind of laughed about it."
McCarthy said Favre went to Disneyworld last week and has been doing things with his family. Work on his property in Hattiesburg, Miss., consumes most of his time.
McCarthy admitted things are different around Green Bay without Favre.
"It's going to be different for a lot of people," he said. "Just when you walk through the locker room, you have this locker standing there and you're kind of laughing about it, like 'What are you going to do with it?' You can't put anybody in it. So there's definitely going to be an absence."
McCarthy said that no one will be getting Favre's locker any time soon.
"I don't think so," he said. "Would you want that locker? You've got to be kidding me."
Asked if Favre's nameplate would remain above the locker, McCarthy said, "I don't know. We're talking about a couple things. It's still up there now."
As for any chance Favre would change his mind, McCarthy said no way.
"I think he'll feel it about September when opening day starts," McCarthy said. "That's when you have to worry about it. For 17 years in a row, his fall has always been around football. (But) he's content with his decision."
