GREEN BAY, Wis. -- I wanted to bring you this late-breaking news report, courtesy of multiple news outlets in Wisconsin. Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy boarded a private plane Tuesday night bound for Hattiesburg, Miss., the home of retired quarterback Brett Favre, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Murphy would not reveal the purpose of the trip, but the report suggests he will attempt to broker a "peace agreement" with Favre following his decision to seek reinstatement to the Packers roster. According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Murphy will plead with Favre to stay at home and not report to the Packers' training camp.

Murphy, in his first year on the job, has allowed general manager Ted Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy to deal with Favre up to this point. It made sense at the time, allowing his football people to deal with football issues, but the situation has expanded far beyond football and now engulfs the entire Packers organization and brand.

Murphy is the closest thing the Packers have to an owner, and now is the appropriate time for the person running the franchise to get involved on a more personal level. In the best-case scenario, Murphy will broker a deal that prevents Favre from making a scene at training camp while providing him with a fair path to another organization.
