The Facts:
This year will be Favre's 16th NFL season, but with a new coach and offense, he'll take part in all mini-camps, according to a source close to Favre. Teams are allowed a fourth mini-camp if they change head coaches, so the Packers will have an extra mini-camp this year.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Last year, former coach Mike Sherman permitted the quarterback to skip the team's three summer mini-camps -- two mandatory and one voluntary -- so he could stay in Mississippi with his recuperating wife and work with a personal trainer on a core-conditioning program. ... Favre is familiar with Mike McCarthy, but he'll need to get up to speed on the new coach's scheme and terminology.
