REPORT: FAVRE IS A JET
Posted by Mike Florio on August 6, 2008, 11:40 p.m. UTC
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.

More to come.

[PaintballCLE]

haha thats good..........although if the NYJ beat us on a bomb when bly bites on the fake........i might kill someone!

[Will Wayfarer]

Well... that was anticlimactic

Favre will be injured by week three and have thrown at least 10 INTs.

[PaintballCLE]

well if the jets gave up draft picks for him..... it might be a good thing........because we know how well they did with their draft picks over the last 20 years.......lol that youtube compilation video of their draft picks and the fans reactions is priceless! We want sapp, we want sapp.....BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO lol

[watermock]

Ugly

[thumpc]

It fits. He will have an average season, and Drama Queen will be on Broaaaadwaay!

[HEAV]

FOXSports.com's Jay Glazer reports that the Packers have traded Brett Favre to the Jets.

This might finally be over. The compensation isn't known, but it's believed to be a single draft pick that increases in value depending on Favre's success in New York. He should immediately step in as a starter, and the team will likely have to release Chad Pennington to make space under the salary cap.

Wow Favre a jet... Almost Joe Namth in reverse.

I wouldn't mind seeing Chad as Jay's backup here in Denver.

[CBF1]

Last I heard it was only a 4th round pick. Man GreenBay wanted to dump his ass off in hell at any price.

[PaintballCLE]

i still think its funny that 3 hours before this went down, espn was reporting he was going to the bucs

no thanks....I think Brian Griese has a stronger arm than Chad Pennington

[thumpc]

I'd take Chris Simms.

[thumpc]

Can the Jets be a good team now?

[SlipperyPete]

Once you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way.

[rovolution]

we play them this year in the Meadowlands. should be fun

[Man-Goblin]

What the **** is this bull****.

See you week 12, Brett. Ya know, if you don't whine your way out of New York or get hurt or something.

PFT was saying earlier in the day that Jay Glazer said the Jets were offering a substantial package and then Peter King supposedly said it's a 3rd rounder that could go as high as a 1st. That sounds like the Jets really want a QB this year because there's no way to guarantee that Favre plays more than another year or two. Just more of the Jets spending spree that has come about this year, they definitely NEED to win for some reason. Mangini feeling a little heat on his tush?

Nope. Look for him to last about a season there and retire once again.

Brett Farve as a Jet? Pfft.

[That One Guy]

This has to be a joke.

No, he could be shifty in the pocket.

He doesn't have all those internal organs weighing him down.

[ScottXray]

PERFECT! The media whore goes to a place where he'll have reporters
following him around trying to measure how long that turd he just let go of is , and whether he's getting enough fibre in his diet.

They'll be pumping sunshine up his butt with glee until he throws a pick that loses a game or two , then turn on him with a vengeance. Fans too.

There couldn't be a better place for him! And next year he'll pull the same crap if they let him. :thumbsup:

[Popps]

Wow. Sucks for him. The Jets have no legitimate shot at going anywhere this year. I can't imagine why he agreed to this.

[Sassy]

Because he's an attention freak.
Brett has some serious "EGO" issues.

[Kaylore]

Once you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way.

Conditional 4th round pick, can move as high as a 1st if Favre plays in 80% of the plays and the Jets go to the Super Bowl.

[Ian BDB]

i still think its funny that 3 hours before this went down, espn was reporting he was going to the bucs

How the hell did he not go to the Bucs? He could have gone to the Super Bowl with the Bucs...

I guess that's why Green Bay sent him to the Jets.

[ludo21]

awesome... the story will only get bigger now.

its getting old, but kinda funny now

[ColoradoDarin]

Now it's time for the Jets to flip him to Minn for a conditional 2nd & 3rd with an option to move up to a 1st & 3rd Hilarious!

[Kaylore]

I hope he does well. I'm so sick of watching the Patriots march over that division.

[Sassy]

Now it's time for the Jets to flip him to Minn for a conditional 2nd & 3rd with an option to move up to a 1st & 3rd Hilarious!

No way...I want him as far away from the Vikes as possible...since that's always my first game and that's the only team I hear about here...I don't want to listen to any more Favre crap.

[Ian BDB]

how are the Jets to absorb the cap impact?

ha! Why even include such language? If the Jets go to the SB, they owe GB their entire draft. It's not happening though...

It would, however, be funny to see GB and the Jets in the SB now. Talk about a man possessed for that game... Favre would play like he hasn't in 10 years.

most definantly Mangini is feeling the heat.

Hes got to make them look semi competative against Brady and Belicheat or he and Tannenbum are hitting the unemployment line in January.

[DomCasual]

All of that? To get traded to the Jets? :saywhat:

Yeah, good luck with that.

[broncofan2438]

Well, at least we get to play against him one more time

[montrose]

If Pennington is released he needs to be on the next flight to Denver.

[24champ]

If Pennington is released he needs to be on the next flight to Denver.

Probably headed to KC...Herm just loves the guy.

Anyway glad we can move on from the Farve saga...I'm going to be rooting against the packers and hope they absolutely suck this year.

[Los Broncos]

Nothing good can come of this in NY.

He will wish he didn't back for another run.

[That One Guy]

And I look forward to gleefully chuckling every time Favre is on the receiving end of getting "Jacked Up!"

Favre acted like a real ass in this whole thing, I welcome his absolute failure.

Good bye, Pennington
Hope you never win again
Thanks for nothing jerk










those are my happy haikus

Can he close for the Mets?

I am so psyched right now!!! We may not win a SB, but at least we will be interesting to watch. In all honesty, Favre might be dangerous with Coles, Cotchery, Keller, etc...

I haven't bought a Jets jersey in 15 years, but I'll be buying one this week...

I almost **** my pants when I heard the news!! And Holy **** it's true!!!

This year it's going to extremely interesting to watch.

J-E-T-S...JETS! JETS!! JETS!!!

I can't believe they freaking got him... I was about to hit the rack and wanted to check my email one last time. Holy crap... I'm a bit stunned. These things don't happen in NY. LOL Welcome to NY, #4.

As for who starts against Cleveland - what does it matter? Now prepare for 3-4 weeks of dropped passes as everyone acclimates to the lasers of Brett Favre.

Nope, they are saying that if the Jets turn around and trade him to Minnesota NY has to give the Pack 3 first round picks. A conditional 4th round pick. Hilarious! That's all he's worth and that's all the Pack will get.

The media ho has found the perfect media circus. Will look forward to him going out like Namath. The guys ego is only outsized by the moon.

[summerdenver]

If Pennington joins Chiefs as people are expecting, this just makes 3 games harder for Den

How so? Pennington has a wet noodle for an arm. He had a good couple of seasons, but his various arm and shoulder injuries have left him as nothing more than ideal backup material at this point.

[Tombstone RJ]

I'm not sure what team would want to pick up Pennington as a backup and pay him $6m to ride the pine.

However, that being said, I can see the 49ers giving him a looksee to compete with Alex Smith for the starting QB position. Penn doesn't have a cannon arm but he is accurate and smart, he could do some things in San Fran if, if he can stay healthy.

[BroncoInferno]

I'm not sure what team would want to pick up Pennington as a backup and pay him $6m to ride the pine.

They won't have to once he clears waivers. At that point, his previous contract will be null and void. That said, I think he gets a chance to start somewhere.

I think Minnesota will give him a strong look since he would probably be an improvement over Jackson. KC would probably be a contender too with his ties to Herm and the fact that it still isn't known if Croyle can play or not.

I'm not sure the Vikes make sense. I don't think their offense is set up to maximize Pennington's strengths, which is accuracy. I think one complaint about TJack is that he doesn't stretch the field (I could be wrong about that) and the Vikes wanted a guy like Favre to launch the ball alittle more. I just think the 49ers offense is a better fit, but I could be wrong, however, I don't think ASmith has a cannon arm either.

Anyhow, Penn will find a job, he's not that old and when healthy he has proven to be a productive QB.

[sixtimeseight]

it still isn't known if Croyle can play or not.

Oh, it's known alright.

[BroncoInferno]

Oh, it's known alright.

I give the kid a little leeway since he was operating behind such a wretched OL last season. He has some tools, so he might be alright if they get him some help.

[Orange_Beard]

The New York media is going to KILLLLLL him.

Moving to a ****ty team and killer media. This is going to be fun to watch.

Actually there have been several reports that the staff was pretty disappointed with his performance last year and not just because of the protection.

Hey, fine with me. I'm just saying that his partial year of experience isn't enough to throw him on the trash heap...yet. I personally think he can be a functional starter with some solid personel around him, but nothing special.

[Disco Man]

Just glad he went to a team that we play this year, we need to prove that last game was a fluke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The N.Y. media is going to murder him as he is going to look old, slow, and has 35 pics.

[smalltowngrll]

Wow, I have no clue what ESPN and the rest of the sports media industry is going to report on now! That's it, there's no longer any sports news to report!

All joking aside, I'm glad it's done and we can move forward with the real news of the NFL. I'm just sick and tired of hearing about it. It's like a pop song on the radio that the station plays every freakin' half hour! You just can't escape the sounds and it gets stuck in your head!

[Man-Goblin]

Hopefully the Chiefs' rookie tackle turns out to be a bust like the LT on the Jets that he couldn't beat out in College.

That is funny ... but just slightly more funny than the whinng on this board that we don't get enough coverage, which is also not true. Each team should rightly expect 1/32nd of NFL Netwrk and ESPN's team coverage. We definitely get that and more.

The 49ers will most likely start NFL Europe star J.T. O'Sullivan.

[Merlin]

Favre needed to bombs (and one on overtime) to beat an extremely poor Denver D and with CB that were constantly peeking in the backfield to know if they had to cover the a$$es of the LB and DL against the run. This is better team than last yr, and the Jets are far inferior to the Packers. I hope Chad gets traded to KC (I actually think their present mediocre QB is better than the joke of a QB Chad has become), then we have 3 very winnable games and KC stays a doormat for at least another couple of yrs.

[crawdad]

2. Will they delay Madden 09 to upgrade cover

No, but I have a feeling the Madden curse is going to be in full effect this year.

[Meck77]

So after the jets maybe he'll play for the Colorado Crush.

[vancejohnson82]

I think this makes the Jets a wildcard contender.....

Thomas Jones was 8th in 100 yard games last year (when you add rushing and recieving)...they also have leon washington to provide a change of pace...

they picked up "foneco" and the other monster lineman whos name escapes me at the moment...and their main problem last year was consistent QB play

the defense will be better off this year because they have a year under their belt running the 3-4 and undersized Vilma is out of hte system..Revus is going to be a CHamp-esque player in the near and Kerry Rhodes is still back there


dare i say the Jets are better than the Broncos??

[loborugger]

The last time they had a HOF QB on the Jets sidelines, it looked a little like this...

I can see old man Favre getting hurt in week 3 and then spending the rest of the season like this. :rofl:

http://gothamist.com/attachments/arts_jen/200711namathfur.jpg

I wonder what Deanna - or Madden for that matter - would think of old man Favre doing this???

http://www.talkingnfl.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/p1_namath_si.jpg

Alas, Brett doesnt have the hair or personality to pull that off. I guess he'll just have to stick to cameos like this (man does he look young in this photo)

http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/columnists/jimbaumbach/blog/favre.jpg

Brett Favre couldn't even decide if he wanted to be with Mary or not. Why does it surprise people that it takes him so long to figure out if he wants to play every year???

EA Promises Updated Favre for Madden '09
By Earnest Cavalli August 07, 2008 | 4:41:37 PMCategories: Console Games
Reacting to Thursday's news that famed Packers QB Brett Favre would be returning to the NFL with the New York Jets next season, Electronic Arts has promised imminent updates to Madden '09, a game that features Favre in a Packers jersey on the cover.

EA plans to offer a downloadable cover insert depicting Favre in Jets regalia via the official Madden website. Completionist fans are urged to print off a copy and replace the retail art as they see fit.

In-game, Favre is a member of the All Time Greats Team by default, though an August 11 downloadable roster update for the title will shift Favre to the Big Apple.

Say what you will about EA's money-grubbing past, but I'm impressed with the reaction time they've shown in amending the innate flaws in Madden '09. Let's hope the gameplay shows the same level of fan-pleasing dedication.

The 49ers shouldda picked up Brett Favre .... Alex Smith is the most overrated player in the league (I've been saying that for over a year now - mark my words ... next stop: Joey Harrington-ville).

Smith might've learned something from Brett while riding pine for a couple years. Knowitall

Sorry for replying late bro - busy at work.

IMO, chad is smart veteran who may not have a strong arm but he is very accurate and does not make too many mistakes. Right now he is better than the cheif's QBs. Croyle might become a good player by the end of the year but right now chad is better.

Well... that was anticlimactic

Favre will be injured by week three and have thrown at least 10 INTs.

Favre will not be injured...

but he will suck....

[TomServo]

was over at some other boards reading all the favre man love from so called "lifetime" packer fans who say they are now jets fans. they still cant wrap it around their brains that "the best qb ever" really should have more than two sb appearances and one championship ring-same as eli manning.
people can say what if elway did this til favre wins another sb but the fact is he didnt. can you imagine what the temptaion to come back was like in '99? the best running back in the game? eddy mac, rod, and sharpe all in their prime? the chance for a threepeat? the chace to even out his sb record? the fact is even with a one of the best teams to win a sb he knew better than to try and coast through another season.

[That One Guy]

Favre said a while back something along the lines of "either let me play for you, or beat you" when he said he wanted to play within the division. Once it was made clear that there were suitors outside the division so he was going elsewhere, he then made it clear that TB was his preferred destination.

I hear from those who saw the press conference that he seemed less than thrilled to be a Jet.

[BroncoInferno]

Well, hambone and others, looks like I was right. The Pack kept Favre out of Minny and even out of the conference. The played their superior cards well and won.
