Brett Favre’s Welfare scandal has taken an interesting turn. The state of Mississippi continues to search for answers. Recently, nearly everyone involved is either being found guilty or taking a plea deal. For that reason, this could be the end of Favre.

According to Front Office Sports, “former Mississippi welfare director John Davis has agreed to cooperate with investigators.” He “agreed to terms on a plea with federal and state prosecutors on Thursday.” So for that reason, Brett Favre’s situation has gotten a whole lot messier for him.

Davis played a large role in the welfare scandal in Mississippi. He’s responsible for “$70 million in misappropriated welfare funds in the state,” per Front Office Sports. Mississippi also has the highest levels of poverty in the nation. This doesn’t bode well for Brett Favre, as he allegedly, “is linked to about $8 million in misappropriated welfare funds”

With Davis agreeing to a plea deal, that could mean Favre is next in line to receive some sort of serious punishment. Nearly everyone involved in the situation has either pleaded or been found guilty. As according to Front Office Sports, “Nancy New, the head of a nonprofit used to funnel welfare funds, pleaded guilty to 13 felonies for her role in the fraud in April.”

We’ll see how it plays out for the NFL Hall of Famer. With everyone around him taking the fall, he could be next in line. Of course, everyone is innocent until proven guilty. It sounds like the former Packers quarterback is sticking with his original claim. “Favre’s attorney Bud Holmes denied Favre knew he was accepting money from welfare funds.”
