What an interesting piece of news... Brett Favre is traded to the Jets...
And the NY Jets are already selling Favre jerseys!
The deal leaked at 1:13 AM this morning and included quite a few interesting provisions:
"According to the NFL Network, 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 Jets make the Super Bowl, it becomes a first-round pick."
And more importantly:
"The NFL Network also is reporting that the Packers took great pains to ensure that Favre would not be traded to the Vikings by inserting a "poison pill" in the deal. If Favre were to be traded to Minnesota, New York would have to surrender three first-round picks to Green Bay."
Goodbye Pennington too... he was released... Could you imagine, heading the training camp one day as the starter and then released the next day because of Brett Favre decided he wants to play again...
And no, I will not become a Jets fan... Packers Green and Gold Through and Through...
