Why Would Any Team Sign Brett Favre

Last season, Brett Favre had a pretty terrible outing. He had a 69.9 passer rating, 11 touchdowns to 19 interceptions, and had three fumbles. More importantly, he didn't look like an NFL quarterback anymore.

No team should be thinking about signing him out of "retirement." He is 41 years old and his consecutive games streak ended, so he can't take the same type of hits he did earlier in his career.

There's some teams that could use a veteran quarterback for a year like the Miami Dolphins or Seattle Seahawks, but Favre should not be that guy. He comes with too much drama and at the end of the day you don't know if he can still produce. Teams can't bench him because he's a NFL legend. That's exactly the dilemma the Vikings faced last year. They couldn't put Tarvaris Jackson or Joe Webb in early enough to salvage their season because Favre still had his consecutive games streak and was an NFL legend.

Teams should just save themselves the trouble and look for another more viable free agent quarterback than Brett Favre.
