According to FOX Sports.com’s Jay Glazer, the talks between the Vikings and quarterback Brett Favre may not be dead after all.

Here are the horrifying details:

After visiting the Vikings for two days, I am convinced — positively convinced — that Brett Favre will soon have talks with the Vikings to return to the team and could be joining them for this season after all. If my instincts are correct, all those purple Favre jerseys will have a home on Minnesota store shelves.

Granted, my camp stop occurred before Sage Rosenfels lit up the Colts in the preseason opener to the tune of 10-of-13 passing for 91 yards. And if Rosenfels can continue like this, he could squash this prediction as the preseason continues.

But until I see it more consistently, I’m absolutely convinced. Why? For starters, because everyone else on the Vikings seems to be convinced of the same thing. I mean damn near everybody!

During my two days in Mankato, nearly everyone I talked to within the team talked about Favre joining not as an “if” but rather a “when.”

So then what’s the holdup? What’s keeping the Vikings from signing Favre right now? It’s not that I don’t believe what Glazer is reporting, but something just doesn’t add up here.

The only explanation I have is that Favre doesn’t want to go through training camp and the Vikings are waiting to sign him until just before the season starts. If they do, that would be a massive slap in the face of Rosenfels and Jackson, who would have gone through training camp with the understanding that it was their job to lose, not Favre’s.
