sounds like if Brett petitions NFL to come back by Sunday then Green Bay can keep him or release him. And if released NY Jets and Tampa Bay have most interest.
here is a packer message board and thread on the division of team, obviously lots of different opinions, and this is where Brett did so well.

I think best way out is as someone mentioned, get a TV job for Sundays as an analyst during halftime and postgames. Do it quick.
