Quarterback Brett Favre has signed his reinstatement papers but may not file them until Monday or Tuesday.
Favre told Chris Mortensen of ESPN.com that he did not report with the Packers Sunday because general manager Ted Thompson pleaded with him to delay his arrival.
Thompson told Favre that he would not be able to compete for the starting job in Green Bay because it belongs to Aaron Rodgers.
Favre said Thompson asked him if he was interested in being traded. "Yeah, but not just to the teams you want me to go to,'' Favre said, relating his conversation with Thompson to ESPN.com.
Favre has asked for his release. The New York Jets and Bucs have expressed an interest in Favre.
