Is Brett Favre planning on making another comeback to the NFL? We're not sure. Thanks to the NFL lockout, ESPN's Rachel Nichols hasn't had to spend the summer camped out on Favre's front lawn in Hattiesburg, Mississippi trying to get the latest word on Favre's retirement. Not yet, at least.

However, it seems Michael Vick might have a hunch about what Favre is planning to do. Over the weekend, he sent out a tweet indicating that he would be open to the idea of having Favre serve as his backup in Philly. "I would be honored to have Brett Favre as a backup," Vick tweeted. "That will be amazing Learning how to toy with defenses the way he did his whole career."

The tweet was deleted shortly after Vick put it up, but did he just blow Favre's secret? Hmmm...guess we'll have to wait and see. [via ProFootballTalk]
