Brett Favre will finallly get traded to the New York Jets, thus hopefully ending a long drawn out dispute. Earlier in the whole Brett Favre issue, the Packers mad ei tclear that they did not want to trade Brett Favre. However, as things got more developed, they really had to trade him.
In return, the Packers got an unconditional fourtrh round draft pick for 2009. This will become a third round draft pick if Favre plays in 50 percent of the plays this season, a second round pick if he plays in 70 percent of the plays this season, and a first round pick if Favre plays in 80 percent of the plays and the Jest make it to the Super Bowl. However, I don't find it likely that the Jets will make it to the Super Bowl.
Some measurement were also put into the deal to ensure that Favre does not end up in MInnesota. If he is traded to Minnesota, the Jets would have to surrender three first round draft picks to the Packers. ouch.
At tihs point I'm just happy that this whole battle is coming to an end. At this point, I leave the room when Sportscenter starts talking about him bvecause I'm so sick of hearing abou thim. The whole episode is ruining his leagcy as one of the greatest QB's ever to play.
This does mak eme a bit uneasy, because he is now in the AFC East. BEing a Pats fan, that makes me a bit nervous, because the Jets may be more of a threat. However, I don't think that they have enough to take down the Patriots when they play each other. They won't beat the Patriots, but they will have a better record this year than in previous seasons. We'll have to see how everythin plays out here and in Green Bay.
