Favre Update Again…

According to ESPN News a deal to Tampa is in the works. Multiple outlets have reported that both the Bucs and Jets are still in the hunt for the Hall of Fame QB’s services. The ties with GB have been severed. Favre will either be traded or have to stay home.
The latest rumors have the Bucs and Jets both offering unknown packages. The Jets apparently have the better offer on the table, but the Bucs are a more preferential location for Favre, especially due to 3 things: the offense, Jon Gruden, and the fact that Tampa Bay plays Green Bay Week 4. Also because apparently Favre does not want to play in NY. Although him speaking to both the Bucs and Jets now is a different tune than what was playing last week.
On the flip side, the Jets are the preferred location for GB to send Favre as they won’t have to deal with him, unless both teams make the SuperBowl.
This story has taken so many twists, who knows what to expect next. Personally I have never heard so many reporters from the big networks being asked their prediction of the outcome, and so many saying they honestly have no idea.
Stay tuned.

Favre also has a home in Florida. That’s why I was excited when all this stuff first came up because he personally likes Florida. I always had a hope that this was why the Fins went ahead and dumped Taylor to create some cap for Favre, but that’s just thinking with my heart. The Fins are more than 2 years from really being able to legitimately contend, so it’d be a waste.
But at this point if he gets traded, the Packers aren’t going to give a single consideration as to what he wants. It’s really a shame. Arguably one of the greatest all-time QBs and they’ve just closed up shop on him.
