The Green Bay Packers and the New York Jets have made a trade. Brett Favre will now play in a different color green uniform.
I understand he will feel right at home with being able to go hunting 5 minutes away from practice. That probably helped with the negotiations! Lots of open land nearby to do one of his favorite things - hunt, fish, etc.
The Packers did not want to see Brett play anywhere in their Division. They knew he'd be a challenge for their team! And boy what would happen if they had to play against him in the play-offs. It still disappoints me that they couldn't see his value on their team, yet they knew he could beat them if he played for Tampa Bay or Minnesota. (Not that Minnesota had an interest of late...) So I hear anyway.
So, it's off to New York early today for Brett and then he'll catch up with his team for their first pre-season game.
I will now have to learn a bit more about the New York Jets. For I will always be a Brett Favre fan! Now I have 2 teams to keep an eye on.
The trade is a good deal for the Packers. They will get a draft pick based on Brett's stats this year. The better he does, the better their pick.
Now let's imagine him going to the SuperBowl. That would be the best!!
Good luck Brett. I know the Jets are going to pick up some new Wisconsin Fans!
