Brett Is A Jet!

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Brett Favre era in Green Bay is now officially over. But Favre's legendary career is not.

The month-long saga has finally come to an end, with the Packers agreeing to trade their future Hall-of-Fame quarterback to the New York Jets, FOXSports.com has learned.
The exact compensation was not immediately known, but it is believed to be a single draft pick that increases in value depending upon how the Jets perform during the 2008 season.
As a result of this, the Jets will likely release a quarterback. Signs have been pointing to Chad Pennington as the likely culprit because the team will need to free up cap room to fit Favre's Favre's contract under the salary cap.

ADDENDUM:
I've been thinking for quite a while about Brett and his retirement message of last spring/winter. I wondered then if he didnt have something else on his mind about Green Bay. Why would he want to retire in Green Bay, then move back to Mississippi and farm. I know he loves farming, hunting and roaming the land, but it just didn't set right with me.

I first thought, OK retire from the Packers and go fishing and hunting. Then I thought, I don't think I would do that!

Then it struck me about the long distance commute and the severe weather difference. Then I remembered that Katrina nearly wiped out his family residences and maybe he was saddened by the loss to the point of leaving Mississippi altogether.

His wife does a lot of charity work and Mississippi isn't the hub of society. So another location, another city didn't seem that far fetched. Then when all this idiocy from the Packers happened - wanting to pay him $20Mil just to sit in his boat and do a couple of appearances each year - It just didn't seem right.

I really think he and Diana had something in their mind about getting to 'the big city' and savoring the celebrity. Maybe enjoying their salad years in the limelight wasn't such a bad thing after all. GB didn't want to do right by him, Mississippi was a mess, so why not try for the Big Apple?

I think the rumors about Tampa Bay were just that - rumors. Gruden is not Brett's kind of guy. New York was the right fit. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he buys a farm or something. Just wait until he hears about NY's and NJs gun laws! He'll flip his lid!

But New York or New Jersey is a great place to live if you have the coin - and he's got it! So it may work out for the best. Now, lets see if he can make the Jets into a contender that can do battle with The Patriots!
