If he's still the best man for the job and he wants it, sure put him in.

From what I'm hearing the main reason they won't just release him is because he'll sign with Minnesota.
It would be asinine for the Packers to let Favre walk, get nothing for him, and then have him go to their division rival.
If they had assurances from Favre and his agent that they wouldn't sign with a team in the division they'd probably let him walk.
Nobody wants a backup QB with a $13M cap number.....but if they let him come back as the starter, Aaron Rodgers would walk after this year and never play for the Packers again.
