Breaking News-Farve to report to Packers/Jets, Bucs are Interested

Thanks bro! Your awesome.

My money is on him going to the Bucs

Breaking: Jets and Bucs Express intrest in Favre

Mort reports that the Bucs and Jets are expressing interest in acquiring Favre. Its is on ESPN's bot line now. Will post link when available.

i hope he goes to the Jets. that will be their admission that Clemmens and Pennington are finished in NY, and they will likely win enough games to not have a shot at a franchise QB in the draft. This could set them back 2 years!!!

Oh this is going to be interesting. I can't wait.:up:

I could see the Jets getting him over the Bucs since they are in the NFC whereas the Jets are in the AFC. Plus reportedly Favre wants to play in colder weather. Personally I want him in the NFC as I don't want him upgrading a weak spot on a divisional opponent. It may set them back a couple of years but it could help them get into the playoffs and who wants that.

Per Chris Mortensen, the Jets have received permission to talk to Brett.:wink2:

I don't want to see him go to New York anywhere but there.

The Jets have reportedly been granted permission to speak with Brett Favre.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen indicates the Jets and Bucs have shown the most interest in Favre so far, but the Packers will try to trade him out of the NFC first. Favre plans to report to Packers camp Sunday, but hasn't been reinstated to the league yet.

Coach Eric Mangini did not deny Friday that the Jets have been in contact with the Packers about acquiring Brett Favre.

While Minnesota is Favre's ideal landing spot, the Jets are probably Green Bay's preferred trade partner. "Those things are internal," Mangini said.

The question is will Favre accept those trades? My guess is no.

Bro, but the Packers are not going to pay him 12 million to hold a clipboard.:wink2:

Well looks like he is going to get released :tongue2:

Okay so I watched Live. Basically he will not show up if he is traded to the Jets. Favre said he either starts or release him. Now if he is traded it looks like the Bucs might be the only team. I'm not sure if Favre even wants to play for Tampa. I still think he is Viking bound.

The Viking deal would have to be a three team deal to make it happen.

I hope this Brett Favre saga ends soon. I'm tierd of hearing about Favre already, I've never liked him, or the Packer organization as a whole.

I'm tired of Favre, not the organization.

Some may think that but they did tell him that if he was to comeback, it would be to hold a clipboard for 13 million.

Why not? The only other option would be staying with Greenbay and they have told him he is going to be a backup and that they don't want him. I'm sure he'd love the Vikings but thats not going to happen.

BUCS HAVE PERMISSION TO TALK TO FAVRE, TOO

It was reported earlier today that the New York Jets have received permission to talk directly with Packers quarterback Brett Favre regarding a trade.

FOX’s Jay Glazer reports that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have also received such permission.

Prior reports indicated only that the Bucs were interested in a trade, not that the Bucs were allowed to talk to the veteran quarterback.

Well what gave it away for me was him saying either Start me in GB or release me. Chances are its either let me play for you or let me play for the Vikings.

This is going to be a very long and ugly process.

Btw GB is stupid if they think their going to get a first round pick for Favre.

Favre has not said that he would reject a trade to the Jets.

Sure he wants to play for Minnesota, but mostly everyone realizes that is not a possibilty. Green Bay will either trade him to the Jets or Tampa Bay and it will be done with. Tampa Bay has the better chance of landing him due to the Gruden connection, but we'll see.

No it was said on Live today.

They said Favre would "____" the trade. Favre has said Let me be the starter or release me. Notice he said not trade for a reason.

NFL Total Access and ESPN have aired since then and nothing of the sort was said on either. NFL Total Access has much better Inside NFL news than NFL Live. This would've been reported on the NFL Network if Favre came out and said he would not accept a trade to the Jets.

Favre has also been saying that garbage for a while now. Since the Packers have asked for a list of teams he'd accept a trade too and Favre gave them that list.

Pure speculation.

Plus, if Favre had said that he wouldn't accept a trade to the Jets this would've been all over ESPN, NFL Network and also ESPN.com and NFL.com. Nothing of the sort has been reported except the speculation of the garbage ESPN analysts.

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports that Brett Favre hasn't filed for reinstatement with the NFL as of 6 ET.
That would appear to rule out an appearance by Favre at Packers camp on Sunday, although he could apply at any time and force the Packers hand. No trade appears close.

They said Favre would not report to the team if he is traded. Thus nulling the trade. Face it Jets aren't getting Favre, neither is the Bucs. The demands the Packers want are to damn high.
