Brett Farve is 45, and hasn’t played since a poor 2010 season with the Minnesota Vikings, but he said his agent called him as recently as the 2013 season with a job offer from an NFL team to play quarterback.
Brett Farve, longtime Green Bay Packers quarterback, appeared on the NFL Network today, joining the studio team to discuss football, and he dropped an interesting little tidbit while he was on the air. Farve is 45, and hasn’t played in the league since 2010, when he was with the Minnesota Vikings, but apparently his agent was receiving calls for Farve to play in the NFL, at quarterback, as recently as last season.

Farve spent most of his career with the Packers, but then later the NFL’s version of the guy who graduated high school but still hangs out with the football team, as the Packers were ready to move on to Aaron Rodgers at quarterback but Farve wasn’t ready to hang it up. He forced his way to the New York Jets for a year, then moved on to Minnesota after the 2008 season. Farve stopped playing after the 2010 season, but has flirted with coming out of retirement since, although he claimed today that when his agent, Bus Cook, calls, Farve just lets it roll to voice mail.
He didn’t say which team called him during the 2013 season, but if an NFL team is making a call to a 44-year old who hasn’t played in three years, they were likely desperate for a quarterback.
