Rams Pursued Brett Favre For Return

May 30, 2014 1:29 AM

The St. Louis Rams called Brett Favre to gauge his interest in returning to the NFL following the season-ending injury to Sam Bradford.

Favre is now a 44-year-old grandfather and hasn't played since December 2010.

One source familiar with the Rams' conversations said that if Favre took them up on their interest, "it could break Twitter."

Favre said he's in football shape, but ruled out a final return to the NFL.

"It's flattering, but you know there's no way I'm going to do that," he said.

May 18, 2014 8:20 AM

Jeff Garcia is 43 years old but he believes he could still play in the NFL.

"That fire still burns," Garcia told "NFL AM" on Wednesday. "I'm also realistic, though. I'm 43 years old. Who's gonna want a 40-plus-year-old quarterback to come back and play for them?"

Garcia's wife is a native of Cleveland and told him to call the Browns after Brian Hoyer was lost for the season with a torn ACL.

Garcia last played in 2011 with the Houston Texans.
