Heard that as well. I can't say I'm to happy since this will help the Jets and they probably only gave up a mid round pick. The only positive things are that the Jets think they don't have much at QB so when Farve is gone they'll be in trouble. The other positive is that I think this will make for a good competition for the top seed in the AFC East, so the Patriots reign will have some doubt cast onto it. Overall, I'm not thrilled but we'll see.
our odds of winning the home opener just increased dramatically. the Jest and the mangenius era just officially entered the twilight zone. thank you football gods...thank you.
How did our odds go up when the Jets got a HOF QB? Your saying Clemens or Pennington are better than Favre?
It says in the article that it will be a draft pick that can go up pending on performance. I believe the compensation is a conditonal third rounder that can go up to a first.

SCARED ****LESS the Packers are. I'd just laugh if Minnesota offered a 3rd for some crap player on the Jets and in exchange the Jets release Favre. my god I'd laugh hard.
Damn you Favre! Why the J*ts!?!?!!? Oh well at least our DB's will be leading the league in picks after week 1!
That sounds like a pretty good deal for the Jets IMO... I dont think they make the playoffs even with Favre there, theres just too many other good teams in the AFC... so that looks like the most they give up is a 4th then? In order for it to jump to a third round pick he has to take 70% of the snaps, which shouldnt be a problem, and the jets need to make the playoffs... Doesnt sound like a great deal for the Packers to me... sounds more like they were just desperate to dump him. Personally i think the jets come out pretty good on this one unfortunately...
Not appreciated , thanks.There's alot of Dolphins fans from NJ that have "alot"of pride in where they are from.I for one.
I'm thinking he'll be decent, but not the great Brett Favre we all know. He has 1 month to learn the play book and build a relationship with the offense, plus he's on the downslide in his career. If anything, the fins may just end up 3rd in the division because of this!
The Jets dont have the receivers GB does. I anticipate an '06 like performance from Favre. Lots of yards, lots of picks. Kinda makes all those Jets fans look silly who said their QB situation was "under control" until now.
[Brett Favre to Ted Thompson hanging upside down from a building] Did you really think that I would risk the battle for the soul of Green Bay in a fist fight with you?! When dealing with this city, you need an ace in the hole. Mine's Roger Goodell.
[Brett Favre to Eric Mangini] [Brett] This city deserves a better class of quarterback, and I'm gonna give it to them. Tell your men they work for me now. This is my city. [Mangina] They won't work for a freak. [Brett] [Exaggerating Mangini's accent] Frrreeaakk. [Pulling out a small knife] Why don't we cut you up into little pieces and feed you to your pooches, hmm? [Brett's thugs pull away Mangini] And then we'll see how loyal a hungry dog really is! [Reaches into his coat pocket and pulls out a cell phone, and begins dialing numbers] It's not about money, it's about sending a message. Everything burns!
[Brett Favre, dressed in a Jet's uniform and Helmet, visits Ted Thompson "Two-Face" in the Green bay Front Office. He shoots an intern before walking over to Ted's desk] Brett: [raising the upper-half of the desk up, mutters a tune while doing so] La, de, la, de, la, de, lum [takes off his chin strap] [Ted immediately becomes enraged and struggles to get out of the desk he's sitting at] Brett: [sits down by the desk, sighs and with a sympathetic tone and forced smile] Hiii… [takes off his helmet as Ted stops struggling, shaking his hair back into its messy state with his hands] You know, I don't want there to be any hard feelings between us, Ted. When you and, uhh, Mi– Ted: MIKE! Brett: [motions his hands before him as he talks] Mike were being productive, I was sitting in Goodell's cage. Now, uh, I-I didn't rig those trade offers. Ted: Your men, your plan. Brett: [serious, smirks slowly] Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? [Ted tries to raise his arms] I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it. You know…I just do things. The NFL has plans. The players union have plans. Goodell's got plans. You know…they're schemers. Schemers trying to control their little worlds. I'm not a schemer. I try to show the schemers how pathetic their attempts to control things really are. So when I say— [grabs Ted's hand, Ted struggles a little] eh, come here. When I say that you and your coach [slowly slaps Ted's hand a couple of times] was nothing personal, you know that I'm telling the truth. It's the schemers… that put you where you are. You were a schemer. You had plans. And, uhh look where that got ya. [Ted's attempts to grab Brett, the two struggling with each other until Brett grabs a hold of Ted's hands, moving them from side to side] Brett: I just did what I do best. I took your little plan and [sing-song tone] I turned it on itself. [Ted stops struggling, Brett looking down at him] Look at what I did to this city with a few retirement threats and a couple press conferences. Hm? You know-you know what I noticed? Nobody panics when things go [does the quote-fingers] "according to plan". Even if the plan is horrifying. If tomorrow I told the press that if like a quarterback will tear his knee, or a handful of players get released…nobody panics. Because it's all part of the plan. But when I say that one little old quarterback will return… [hysterical tone, stuttering slightly] WELL THEN EVERYONE LOSES THEIR MINDS! [lets go of Ted's hands and pulls out a gun, the handle facing Ted] Introduce a little anarchy. [puts the gun into Ted's hand, cocking the gun] Upset the established order, then everything becomes…chaos. [guides the gun to his own forehead, smacking his lips] I'm an agent of chaos. Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair. Ted: [looks down, pulls out his lucky coin with his free hand and shows the "heads" side to Brett] You live. Brett: Mmm-hm [smacks lips together]. Ted: [turns coin around, showing the burnt, "tails" side] You die. Brett: Hmmm, now we're talking. [Ted flips the coin, assuming it landed, Brett then looks at him] Brett: See you around *****!!
Brett, you've changed things forever. There's no going back. See to them, you're just a piece of meat. LIKE ME! Why So Serious Brett? A little fight in ya? I like that.. Then you're gonna love me Lets put a smile on that face...
