As Favre sees it, Rodgers returned to Title Town because they provide him with the best chance to add a second Super Bowl ring to his jewelry box.

"I have said this all along and will continue to say this. I assume that Aaron’s objective is to try and get to the Super Bowl," he continued. "His best chance to get there has been in Green Bay the last two years."

Favre doesn’t have any insider knowledge direct from his former understudy, but it’s clear that he believes that Rodgers likes the team Green Bay’s assembled around him.

"I haven’t talked to Aaron. I don’t know what his vision is like, but I gotta assume that he is thinking, ‘Hey I got a good thing going on here, so I might as well come back and try my chances,’" added Favre.

Various reports have speculated that Rodgers’ decision to re-up with the Packers came with a handsome raise. Most estimates have the 38-year-old QB penciled in at around $200 million over four seasons.
