Favre throws at high school, Vikes reportedly offer more mon

Post by FlipSide »

Brett Favre was back on the practice field Wednesday morning -- warming up with the Oak Grove High School football team in Hattiesburg, Miss. -- amid reports that the Minnesota Vikings have offered the quarterback additional financial incentives to return.

Favre did not appear to be working out Wednesday morning, according to reports by NFL Network's Scott Hanson and The Associated Press, but he simply ran onto the field and began lightly tossing the ball with players in warm-ups. Favre then helped and assistant coach as the players went through drills.

The Star Tribune report said that the Vikings' pitch to bring back Favre includes an offer that could pay him $20 million -- $16 million guaranteed, plus incentives potentially worth another $4 million. That is $7 million more than Favre was scheduled to make this season.

The quarterback made no comments to reporters before taking the field, a day after telling Vikings players and officials he won't return for a 20th season. The former league MVP told the Vikings his ankle is not responding well after offseason surgery.

Favre has made regular appearances at Oak Grove during the summer for several years, working out with players during informal drills as he prepared for the upcoming NFL season.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
