Minnesota Vikings
By April 2009, Brett Favre was released from his contract with the New York Jets, and thus began his career with the Minnesota Vikings. And in case you didn’t know, the Vikings and the Green Bay Packers are mortal enemies. So to put it lightly, many of Favre’s Packer fans deemed him a traitor, ouch. However the rejuvenated veteran would top 4,000 passing yards and throw 33 touchdowns against seven interceptions, taking the Vikings to a 12-4 record and also a spot in the NFC Championship Game. At the end of 2009, Favre earned his 11th Pro Bowl.

Retirement
Brett Favre would play for the Minnesota Vikings in 2010, however it became his most disappointing season. Finally in January 2011, Brett Favre retired for good and returned home to Mississippi. In Favre’s 20 year NFL career, he finished with many NFL records including passing (71,838) and touchdowns (508) – both of which were previously held by Dan Marino of the Miami Dolphins.
