A Cheesehead No More - Favre Dealt to Jets for Pick
Boston Sports Buzz - Red Sox Patriots Celtics Bruins MLB NFL NBA NHL Baseball Football Basketball... —
Well, the Jets just got a whole lot better. According to multiple media sources, the New York Jets have acquired Brett Favre for a conditional 2009 draft pick (reportedly a 4th round pick that could eventually become a 1st rounder depending on how well the Jets do and how much Favre plays next year). Needless to say, the move will have significant implications in terms of how the AFC East plays out this coming season. It's hard to believe this is the best the Packers could get for a future Hall of Famer and (still) one of the most effective ...

Brett's a Jet. A couple of reports are now showing that Brett Favre is now a member of the New York Jets. No mention yet of what the trade involved, but my guess is that it includes a sort of tiered compensation. I'm sure it's probably at least a 3rd round draft choice, but may move up based on Brett's and the teams performance. ...

Packers move quickly to deal Favre
ESPN.com - NFL Nation Blog —
Posted by ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert GREEN BAY, Wis. -- In the end, the Green Bay Packers were highly motivated to put the Brett Favre saga behind them. First, coach Mike McCarthy pushed Favre hard during a meeting Monday night to determine once and for all if a reconciliation could occur. After eight hours of meetings, McCarthy and Favre agreed the relationship wouldn't work. About 48 hours later, the Packers had traded him to the New York Jets. Deals for starting quarterbacks, much less ...

... But not the Jets. For Christ's sake, not a team in the Patriots' division, and in a conference where the Patriots, Colts, Steelers, Chargers, and probably Jaguars would be favored in any hypothetical Super Bowl matchup against the NFC team. Green Bay GM Ted Thompson got the last laugh in this chapter, but the fact is he decided to blow the whole thing up. He's going to lie in his Aaron Rodgers bed, ignoring the long, long list of first round quarterbacking busts. He's going to ignore the fact that there are still FIFTEEN active franchises that have not won the Super Bowl, and he ...
Our long national nightmare is over: Brett Favre has been traded to the New York Jets
Niners Nation —
... I previously mentioned I wanted to avoid Brett Favre chatter, and in fact I've avoided Sportscenter and NFL Live for much of the last week. However, this is the one story I'm willing to happily report. The Packers have traded Brett Favre to the New York Jets for what appears to be a fourth round draft pick that can increase in value depending on how the Jets perform. While the Patriots are obviously still the favorites in the AFC East, if Favre can play like he did last season (no guarantees of that), the Jets could become a playoff contender. ...

Favre to Jets: 10 Reasons why it is the single biggest NFL trade in the last 19 years

First off, let me say…thank goodness this is over. I had been boycotting sportscenter because they were doing nothing more than beating the Favre story into the ground (think Pedro Gomez covering Barry Bonds during the HR chase).
So…Brett Favre to the Jets. A reminder of the terms, from ESPN,
…if Favre takes 50 percent of total snaps with the Jets in 2008, the fourth rounder becomes a third-round pick. If he gets 70 percent of the snaps and the Jets make the playoffs, it becomes a second-round pick; and if he gets 80 percent of snaps and the ...
Brett Favre Traded to N.Y. Jets
Every Morning Quarterback —
... He’ll get plenty of it in New York. As for the Jets, there’s no question they upgraded the position over Chad Pennington and Kellen Clemens. Along with their other offseason additions, this is undoubtedly going to be a team to reckon with in the AFC. How well these new players are going to work together is yet to be seen. The Packers, meanwhile, can lick their wounds from this fiasco as I believe they will struggle to make the playoffs this season.

I was about to go to sleep last night when I saw this news on espn.com. Brett Favre, best known for his cameo in the Farrelly Brother's hit, "There's Something About Mary" not to mention his minor role as "The Greatest Quarterback Alive", has just been traded from the Packers to the Jets for a draft pick that is TBD. As a Jets fan, I've learned to be cautiously optimistic. As far the New York Jets Fantasy Seats go, this could be a great time to get a ticket to possibly two big games: 1) Super Bowl XLIII and 2) Brett Favre's last game. While the ...

... Brett Favre has been traded to the New York Jets for a conditional draft pick. Chad Pennington was said to have thrown his helmet in frustration at the news, but it wobbled through the air and fell short of actually hitting his locker by 3 yards. This is interesting for the Bills, as the Jets were probably going to be pretty easy to beat this year…still might be as the Jets’ other skill players aren’t exactly threatening. I’ll have to log in to Madden later and see if I can screen-cap Favre in the Jets colors. ...
