Browns coach Eric Mangini said on Wednesday that he'd like Brett Favre to stop by the team's training camp this summer.
"He might come out to training camp to visit," Mangini said. "Maybe I will have him do the show team or just hang out."
Since Favre is still under contract with the Jets, Mangini can't have him put on a uniform and run the practice team. However, he could be a guest tutor for quarterbacks Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson.
"I don't think it would be anything formal," Mangini said. "It's not like we are hiring him to run the scout team. I don't think he would be interested in that. He would be more like a visitor. An open invite."
