Free agent QB Brett Favre has decided to stay retired.
It was safe to assume that he was going to come back after undergoing biceps surgery and all the talks he's had with the Vikings coaching staff, but ultimately the daily grind will keep Favre retired. I think the most important thing to keep in mind is that we don't have to hear about this crap anymore. Good riddance to all this stupid drama!
Fantasy Impact: I will update all Vikings in my draft guide as I wrote it under the assumption that Favre would return and start for them. Favre can obviously be dropped immediately for those who took a chance on him in the draft, and it lessens the upside of what might have been a very dangerous offense.
Sage Rosenfels and Tavaris Jackson will battle to be the starting QB as the dust settles from the Favre situation. For current and prospective owners of Vikings players, everyone should be rooting for Sage Rosenfels. Tavaris Jackson has proven to be a mediocre QB who cannot handle pressure, and Rosenfels handled the Houston offense fairly well the past two seasons during Matt Schaub's injuries. He's a much better fantasy QB than a real QB as he makes horrible, bone-headed decisions a couple times a game. He has a good arm and will make the offense move better than Jackson, though.
