Finally, it’s over.
Jay Glazer of FOX reports that the Green Bay Packers and the New York Jets have reached agreement on a trade for quarterback Brett Favre.
The compensation that the Packers will receive isn’t known, but it’s expected to be a conditional draft pick in 2009 that escalates based on Favre’s performance and/or the team’s success.
Glazer also points out that the Jets are likely to release a quarterback, and that the victim likely will be Chad Pennington. Per NFLPA records, Pennington has a base salary of $6 million in 2008.
Favre’s 2008 base salary is $12 million, and the Jets would be required to assume that entire figure as soon as Favre joins the team — absent a restructuring of his contract.

now lets see if favre accepts the trade. My guess is the jets will negotiate a less expensive contract for favre. Which I assume has taken all this time today to work out with favres agent and the jets.

Sorry Florio. And again, this explains the “incompetence” of Mangini not naming a starter for Thursday night.
I’ll look forward to the banter about what a big mistake this was for the Jets and how desperate they are. Thanks again.

He might change his mind after the first (shellacking) meeting with New England. It’s not going to be pretty when broken play after broken play falls right into BBs web.
Being a New England fan, I love this. Chock up two instant losses for the Jets this year. The Jets couldn’t have broadcasted any louder how desperate they are. Silly Boygini.
I see Buffalo finishing with a better record than The Jets. Really. 1).N.E. 2). Buffalo 3).Jets 4). Miami. Plain and simple.

Great. The Jets deserve him as The Q Man said. The Bucs may just be better off without him. Good luck Jets. Thankfully, this (part) is now over.

That’s nice, but Mangini still doesn’t know who his starting quarterback is.

Ted Thompson should be the GM of the year again. Not only did he not back down to Favre when Favre was holding the team hostage, but he actually got value for the biggest cancer in league history.
WE LOVE YOU, TED!

The question is, how good of shape is he in after all these months? Imagine this dude getting yanked midway through the season. For the first time in a long time, Bret will be under intense scrutiny.
