Now that Brett Favre's retired, the Packers own his rights for as long as they want.

An NFL spokesman told us that the Packers would put him on what's called the reserved-retired list, and that he'd remain there indefinitely.

That doesn't necessarily stop a player from joining a different team.

Let's say down the road that Brett Favre decides to un-retire, and for some reason he doesn't want to play with the Packers.

Green Bay would have to take him off the reserved-retired list, like when they let Reggie White off the list so he could play for Carolina in 2000.

The spokesman said he could never remember a case where a player wanted to go to a different team, and the squad that held his rights on the reseved-retired list wouldn't let him go.
