Journal Sentinel - Brett Favre is wanted back by Mike McCarthy, according to Fox Sports reporter Jay Glazer.

Glazer reported on "Fox NFL Sunday" that the Packers' coach disclosed his intentions for the Green Bay Packers quarterback during an interview Saturday night.

Glazer was the sideline reporter for the Packers' game at Minnesota on Sunday afternoon on Fox, working with play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert and analyst Brian Baldinger.

"Everybody talks about him retiring," Glazer said, referring to Favre. "But (Saturday) night, his head coach, Mike McCarthy, told me, 'I am going to try to convince Brett to come back one more year.' "

Glazer said he asked McCarthy why he wanted Favre to return.

"(McCarthy) said, 'I really think he is not part of the problem. I think he is part of the solution. You guys see certain things on the surface that may not be particularly true. We'd love to have him back for one more year.' " [READ]
