The team would expect him to participate fully in offseason minicamps and training camps, which he missed last year with the Jets.Favre has not been working out and declined to have surgery to repair the torn biceps tendon that plagued him the final month of last season. Favre may believe the injury can heal on its own as did a similar problem with his left shoulder while he played in Green Bay. Favre wanted to play for the Vikings last season, but the Packers specifically eliminated their NFC North rivals as a potential destination for the Green Bay icon. While Favre had been emphatic about not returning next season, he never anticipated the Jets would release him after drafting <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=12482" target="_blank">Mark Sanchez</a> in the first round and could see the Vikings as the opportunity to fulfill the goal he was deprived of last season -- winning a Super Bowl.  Favre admitted to ESPN that he was motivated to play in 2008 largely because of his resentment toward Packers general manager Ted Thompson. The Vikings had planned to have <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=9650" target="_blank">Tarvaris Jackson</a> and <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2658" target="_blank">Sage Rosenfels</a> compete for the starting quarterback position in training camp. With Jackson battling injuries last season, journeyman <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=622" target="_blank">Gus Frerotte</a> started 11 games and led the Vikes in passing. Minnesota finished 10-6 to capture the NFC North but lost to the Eagles in the first round of the playoffs in a game started by Jackson.  Ed Werder covers the NFL for ESPN."---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well. I for one will boo the hell out of my TV when he comes running out onto the Lambeau soil. I sort of understood last year, but he always said that if his play reached a point where it was hurting the team he'd stay gone. Last year he almost singlehandedly played the Jets out of the playoffs. Blah blah blah he won us a Super Bowl I don't care. I always got the feeling when he was here that Favre was different than all the self absorbed athletes around him. Turns out he might be the most self absorbed of them all.</blockquote>
