After weeks of waiting to see if the Packers would take Brett Favre back yet again, we have learned that Brett's motivation may not be staying loyal to the Green Bay Packers, but simply winning.
His first two choices for a transfer were the Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears, neither of which had much interest in Farve.
Round Two of Brett's next possible destinations include the New York Jets and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Both teams are in need of a high-caliber quarterback. Sources reveal that although the New York Jets have offered Brett a very enticing deal, Brett has more interest in the Bucs.
The Bucs have about 38 million in cap room and it seems that there is still time for some negotiations. Come September 4, you may see Favre playing in a different Bay.
