The Jets aren't pressing Brett Favre to make a decision regarding his future, but the team privately indicated that they wouldn't mind if he retired. Management has said they want Favre to return in 2009, but it is believed the comments were made so they wouldn't be accused of running the quarterback out of town. "I think they had to say that in case (Favre) wants to come back," said a person with knowledge of the team's thinking said. "If Favre says he's not coming back, I don't know if that would be a great disappointment. ... I think Woody and Mike are upset (with Favre's late-season play) to a point, especially Woody. But I think they have to handle the situation with care. They're not going to say publicly they don't want Favre back, but privately I'm not so sure."
