Wow.

Just when we thought we’ll see Brett Favre playing for the Green Bay Packers in the 2008-09 NFL football season, a curve ball was thrown at us that saw the Packers trading the future Hall-of-Famer to the New York Jets.

You read it, Brett Favre was traded by the Packers to the New York Jets after all the speculations about ‘’the ultimate Packer'’ moving to either the Minnesota Vikings or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

We already knew the Green Bay Packers were already committed to starting the young Aaron Rodgers at quarterback for the coming season. And after they traded away Green Bay’s football icon, we now know how serious the Packers are of finally putting the young Rodgers to test.

The New York Jets traded a fourth-round pick to the Packers for Favre. A draft pick that increases in value depending on how far Favre (no pun intended) takes the Jets in the coming season.

If Favre takes 50 percent of the total snaps with the Jets this season, the fourth rounder becomes a third-round pick. If Favre gets 70 percent of the snaps and the Jets make the playoffs, it becomes a second-round pick.

If Brett Favre gets 80 percent of the snaps and the Jets make Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa, Florida, (wouldn’t that be a slap on the Packers franchise…) it becomes a first-round pick.

And as any football executive would be, New York Jets chairman and CEO Woody Johnson expressed how excited he is of having a player of Favre’s caliber in his team.

‘’I am looking forward to seeing Brett Favre in a New York Jets uniform,'’ Johnson said. ‘’He represents a significant addition to this franchise, and reflects our commitment to putting the best possible product on the field.'’

‘’Mike Tannenbaum and his football administration staff did a great job of navigating this complex process. I am excited about welcoming Brett, Deanna and their family to the Jets organization.'’
