APBrett Favre said he asked the Green Bay Packers to let him compete for his old job but was denied.
Favre wants to return from retirement but has not filed his letter seeking reinstatement, and the team is exploring trade options. He said Packers general manager Ted Thompson asked him to delay reporting to camp while the team sorts things out.
Favre told ESPN said that Thompson wasn't receptive to him battling Aaron Rodgers for the starting job.
"I said, 'Let me compete, you'll know I'll win this job' and Ted said again, 'Brett, things have changed. Aaron Rodgers is our quarterback,' " Favre said. "It's pretty clear — and this is what I told the commissioner — that they want me to go away, stay retired. They would much rather see me in a Packers' uniform, paying me $12 million to be a backup — which you know they really don't want — rather than see in another uniform, no matter what they say. They'll drag this out, asking a king's ransom [in a trade], hoping it all goes away."
Favre told ESPN that Thompson told him that if he showed up at the training camp Sunday that the team's top football executive would lose his job.
"I asked Ted [Saturday], 'Am I welcome in the building if I report?' And Ted was just about shattered," Favre said. "He said, 'Brett, you can't do that — you'll get me fired.' I told him I'm not trying to get anybody fired. So Ted asked me to let the guys report and let's try to resolve this over the next two or three days."
Favre said his decision to comply did not sit well with his wife Deanna or his agent, James "Bus" Cook.
"Deanna, Bus, everyone here [in Mississippi] says, 'You're so stupid, letting [the Packers] play you like this," Favre said. "They want me to get in there now. I may wait until Tuesday or so."
Favre said he has spoken to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell twice recently.
"Roger is willing to help but he has to be careful," Favre said. "I told him I could easily send in this letter [of reinstatement] but they really don't want me there and it'll be a big circus. They play this both ways. Privately, they don't want me there. Publicly, if I sent in the letter but didn't show up right away, they could always fine me or say, `See, why isn't he here? He really doesn't want to play.' Give me my release and see if I want to play or not."
