August 6, 2008 Jets still in the hunt for Favre Good morning, Jets fans. You’re still in the hunt for Brett Favre. It appears to be the Jets vs. Bucs, although with the ever-indecisive Favre making decisions, it’s impossible to rule out other scenarios - i.e. staying retired. There are conflicting reports this morning on the Favre saga. The Tampa Tribune is reporting that Favre-to-the-Bucs is a virtual done deal, that it could be announced as soon as today. FoxSports.com is saying that the Jets have a better offer on the table, but Favre still hasn’t warmed to the idea of playing in New York. My gut still tells me the Bucs are the favorite, that the Favre camp is using the Jets as leverage, hoping the Bucs cough up a better offer to the Packers. But, make no mistake, the Jets are in this, trying to convince Favre they’re the right spot. The Jets spoke directly to Favre last night, according to ESPN and the NFL Network. The Jets have been hiding out in the weeds for 12 days, waiting for this chance. Now they have it and, from all indications, they’re trying to get it done. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if they’re offering QB Chad Pennington, who would be a solid complement to the inexperienced Aaron Rodgers. This is going to be a wild day. http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/jets/2008/08/jets-still-in-the-hunt-for-fav.html
