GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP)—The Green Bay Packers have reached an agreement to trade quarterback Brett Favre to the New York Jets, the team announced late Wednesday night. Terms of the trade weren’t immediately available.

The Packers had been talking with the Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers since deciding earlier this week that the team and the three-time MVP couldn’t co-exist. The Packers decided to move forward with Aaron Rodgers as their starter after Favre announced his retirement in March.

Favre’s agent, James “Bus” Cook, confirmed the deal in a text message to The Associated Press late Wednesday night.

The agreement first was reported by Fox Sports on its Web site.

Isn't that what he wanted???

Not to be mean, but I think what he actually wanted was for the Packers to jump to attention and cater to his every whim when he talked about coming back. I can't help but see this as a huge ego trip on Favre's part. He agonized over retiring for years and he CHOSE to retire last year, despite the face that he didn't have to and no one wanted him to. The Packers then were able to offer opportunities to their other QBs. Then Favre wanted to yank the rug out from under them again. I am glad they didn't let him.

^ Never thought of it that way. He seem like such a nice guy you wouldn't want to think of him that way but $ can make people do unseemly things.

Was so hoping he'd be coming to our team (Bucs).
Blah.

I think Green Bay could have gotten a better deal from Tampa. The Jets are not in Green Bay's division, but Tampa is, so now they won't have to deal with facing Favre on the field or having their fans cheering for him on another team.

Dang, he's been with GB forever!

I really never thought this would happen!

Am a huge Jets fan and am very happy to hear of this last week. Hopefully he'll bring something to the team that we've been missing for so long. Yay!

I think the Jets won in this deal. And I don't think Brett did this for money, he could have clearly made big bucks from marketing alone. He loves to play.

IMO, he shouldn't have said he was retiring unless he was sure in his heart. I wish him luck with the Jets.
