DE Shaun Ellis has been sidelined for more than a week with a broken hand but isn’t in jeopardy of missing the regular season opener.

CB David Barrett agreed to cut his base salary from $3.6million to $2.4 million.

Said QB Brett Favre, “I hate to study and, at times, I hate to practice, but I love to play.”

“I never guarantee anything,” Favre said, “but I’ll play my butt off.

In the evening practice, Favre threw 15 passes in 11-on-11 drills.

Favre threw an interception and another ball that should have been picked.

Even if he never plays in the Jets’ new stadium, Favre may help sell personal seat licenses for it.

Said WR Jerricho Cotchery, “Some of the throws he makes out there, it’s kind of crazy.”

Cotchery compares Favre to Michael Jordan.

Favre mentioned second-year WR Chansi Stuckey as a receiver he wants to build chemistry with.

WR Laveranues Coles appeared to tweak one of his legs at the end of the morning practice and sat out the afternoon session.

Coles told the Jets public relations staff that the subject of Favre replacing Chad Pennington was “too sensitive” for him to address.
