The issue I have with all the Favre hoopla is this... Favre retiring one year and signing with a new team the very next year really nullifys any NFL contract. If the commisioner is willing to allow a player to retire out of a contract after a season and re-enter an entirely new contract with a differant franchise as a result of the retirement without any penalty, something is wrong with the league. Why wouldn't every dissatisfied star player do this? I'd expect recourse if I were owner of the New York Jets...

Yes, this is my biggest problem with the whole thing too. Totally makes every contract good as void if this bs is allowed. Besides that, I really don't care much about the whole thing. I am a little on Favre's side if anything. I mean if he's happier playing then let the man play, it's not like he's the one making a huge deal about it every offseason, it's the media. And his legacy isn't gone no matter what anyone says, I don't even think he's some amazing QB, sure he has tons of records, but they're both good and bad. pretty sure he has both the most interceptions And TD's, that just comes with playing for tons of years.

LOL... there is no such a thing as a guaranteed contract in the NFL. A team can basically release a player at anytime (save for injury situations). So, if a team can void the contract at will, why should we have a problem with a player finding a way to get out of one as well? I'm sure the contract has provisions in it to deal with Favre retiring early (foregoing payment of future amounts and/or the return of a pro-rata portion of his signing bonus or other guaranteed amounts). Teams of lawyers are pouring over these contracts on both the player and team side, it's not just as simplistic as you've stated.
