Antoine Winfield Considering Return

Nov 6, 2014 5:55 AM

Antoine Winfield will consider returning to the NFL if he finds "the right situation."

Winfield was released by the Seattle Seahawks before the start of the current season.

Winfield's most likely scenario would be a return to the Minnesota Vikings.

"Antoine definitely appreciates coach (Leslie Frazier), and some of his best friends in life play on that team right now," agent Ashanti Webb told Sean Jensen of the St. Paul Pioneer Press two weeks ago. "He was there for basically a decade, so Minnesota will always hold a special place in his heart. But I haven't heard anything substantive from them to bring back to Antoine."

Agent: Favre Remains In NFL Shape

Nov 4, 2014 5:04 AM

Brett Favre isn't considering a return to the NFL, but his agent said he remains in great shape.

"Today, he could play today," Bud Cook said Monday night, via the Mobile Press-Register. "I saw him the other day. He's in the best shape I've ever seen him in, physically."

"His arms look like a blacksmith's arms. He rides a bike probably 30-50 miles a day. He runs four or five miles a day. He's coaching at the high school and they're undefeated. He loves it. His body fat is 7.5 percent and he weighs 225 pounds. He could play today, better than a lot of them out there today."
