Could Brett Favre come out of retirement? (AP Images)

Consider us unsurprised.

News is trickling out of the Green Bay area that former Packers QB Brett Favre has "got the itch" to play football once again and is being coaxed out of retirement by his family.

In a report from ESPN.com's Chris Mortensen, Favre could opt out of retirement within the next month in order to participate in Packers' training camp. Favre has communicated his potential desire to coach Mike McCarthy but talks have not advanced to a substantive stage, a Packers source said.

Favre has two years remaining on his contract at an average of about $12.5 million per season. His salary is not currently counting toward the salary cap because the Packers placed him on the reserve-retired list.
