MILWAUKEE -- Brett Favre did not report to the Green Bay Packers' training camp Sunday, easing tensions in the three-time MVP's ongoing standoff with the team.

TALKBACK: What Do You Think?

Favre told si.com that Packers general manager Ted Thompson has asked him for "a couple of days" to resolve the situation.

That agreement, presumably, would be a trade. The New York Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers have emerged as two potential trade partners for the Packers, and Favre told si.com that he would consider a trade to any team.

Packers players were scheduled to attend meetings and take physicals Sunday. Players, coaches and Thompson are not scheduled to meet with reporters until after the Packers' first practice Monday morning.

The quarterback told Peter King of Sports Illustrated and Chris Mortenson of ESPN that he signed reinstatement papers but hasn’t sent them to the NFL commissioner’s office.

Favre is reportedly waiting to report to camp.

"I had planned on reporting for the start of packers training camp (Sunday,) but Ted Thompson asked if I would give him a couple of days to try to get the situation resolved. I agreed to do that," Farve said. "I don't want to be a distraction to the Packers, and I hope in the next few days we can come to an agreement that would allow me to continue playing football.''

Favre also told Mortenson that he was told by Thompson that Thompson would be fired if Favre walked into the training camp.

He went on to say that his wife, Deanna, and his agent Bus Cook told him that he was stupid for letting the Packers "play you like this."

The quarterback said he may wait until Tuesday to report.

The Tampa Tribune has reported that the Packers and the Buccaneers were close to pulling off a Favre trade Saturday night but couldn't agree on compensation.

That would give Thompson more time to make a deal with Favre.

Thompson said that the team will address the media Monday.

At his season opening news conference Saturday, head coach Mike McCarthy empathically stated that Aaron Rodgers is the starting quarterback for the Packers.

While McCarthy was very pleased with the spring organized team activities, he said challenges still lie ahead for the team.

"I'm excited about it. I can't ask any more from our football team and what they've given. We have fewer practices than we've had in the past, so we have that challenge. We feel very good about our football team, and it's time to pick up where we left off and that's our focus," McCarthy said.
