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.

The Jets need him bad, the Bucs already have a fine collection of QB's

The saga continues..I agree the Jets really need a QB...

July 26, 2008  09:17 AM ET

I hope when I get up on Sunday,,,,,,that there is a New Favre Story.
If not, I just might hurt myself!

Apparently, he's on his way to NY at least for a visit (Sat.).

July 26, 2008  09:22 AM ET

PS He's got much less to work with Jets than with Bucs.

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

July 26, 2008  09:34 AM ET

Let's hope this is over by Sunday .... At this point I just want him to go somewhere so we can stop hearing about this.

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.

Over at Hofstra, Bubba Franks is hoping and praying.

July 26, 2008  09:56 AM ET

jets definitely need him, but I think he has no use for them. can't see it happening.

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..

pw ...They might be the best team in the NFL without a HeadCoach..

Now thats funny..

July 26, 2008  10:24 AM ET

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...

July 26, 2008  10:41 AM ET

Favre never sent the message Friday....he can't even do that right!

July 26, 2008  10:42 AM ET

The Jets need a lot of things.

July 26, 2008  10:45 AM ET

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

July 26, 2008  10:46 AM ET

Going from a cheesehead to a New York player...just gets worse and worse for Favre, hes going to flop/injured.

Ready to hear him cry after this season is over to? I am.
