Jets, Bucs leading Favre chase
The Jets and Bucs emerged Friday as the primary suitors for the retired legend, who wants to make a comeback and is being actively shopped by the Packers. It started with a phone call from the Packers to the Jets, and it has mushroomed into the most tantalizing Jets story in years. The two teams held preliminary trade discussions, covering potential draft-pick compensation and Favre's contract status, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. During the conversation, the Packers suggested the Jets talk to Favre to gauge his interest in them, the person said. As of late Friday, the Jets hadn't contacted Favre, according to the person.

Hank - I think you are confusing volume and quality when you use the term "fine"

In June the Jets had $8.5 cap space left with unsigned Draft pics....Favre was going to get $13 million on his old contract...If they want him, they are going to have to do some fancy book work...They laid out a lot of money in FA this year....

Still think he's going to the Jets. He may even take a pay cut to get there.

When you consider who might have the best team in the NFL without a QB, the Jets won't come to mind.
They might be the best team in the NFL without a HeadCoach..

It is true the Jets need a leader and QB. This will never end... expecially if he reports to camp. You gotta feel for Rogers...

Jets should try and get him
BUT
not if they want a 1st or 2nd round pick-
that would be STUPID
GB HAS to get rid of him- and htey AIN'T going to give him to an NFC team-
all the Jets have to dois wait them out

DEVO ..I think he can because the Jets were given permission to talk to him from the Packers..
If he goes to NY, maybe he can get together with Eli and Manning can tell him how to play in bad weather..hehehehe
