At long last, Favre out of Green Bay
Finally, the Packers and Brett Favre have ended their impasse, when the Packers sent #4 to the Jets, in return for a draft pick that will be determined based on the success of Favre and the team. It is believed that it will start at a 4th-round pick in 2009, and will increase in value based on how the Jets perform. 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.
This move ends the impasse between the 2, and it keeps Favre out of Minnesota. According to the NFL Network, if the Jets were to trade #4 to the Vikings, they would have to give the Pack 3 first round picks. Finally, the situation is over, and I don’t have to hear this every day on ESPN.
