Brett Favre has signaled once again that he is contemplating a return to the NFL, this time by paying a visit to orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews for an examination of his throwing arm.
Ed Werder and Chris Mortensen of ESPN are reporting that Favre consulted with Andrews to go over the options for healing Favre's partially torn biceps tendon. Andrews apparently told Favre there were various exercises he could try, and Favre would like to sign with the Vikings if those exercises get his arm in good enough shape to play.
All indications are that Favre is feeling the itch to play in 2009 if his arm is healthy enough, but that he doesn't want to have to go through a surgery and a long rehab process to prepare for the season. The ESPN report said Favre would prefer not to go through arthroscopic surgery and would definitely not be willing to have major shoulder reconstruction.
Favre is currently an unrestricted free agent and can sign with any team, but all the speculation this off-season has focused on his desire to play with the Vikings.
