Source (fanball.com) (QB - nyj) | 0 comments.

Before finalizing The Trade, Jets' GM Mike Tannenbaum asked Brett Favre for a two-year commitment, according to the New York Daily News. As we know, Favre rejected the notion and Tannenbaum did the deal regardless. "He was just trying to get me to come at first, but once we knew the deal was going to be done, he would've liked a two-year commitment," Favre revealed in his first sit-down interview with print reporters. "I said, 'Mike, let me give you the best year I can possibly give you and let's go from there.'"Favre's year-to-year position isn't news, but this was the first acknowledgement that the Jets wanted more. At the time of the trade, Tannenbaum declined to discuss the matter. When the season is over, the Jets, too, will be held captive by Favre's whims. Tannenbaum confirmed that he asked Favre for two years, adding that he's not bothered by the non-committal stance.

Coach Eric Mangini said Tuesday veteran quarterback Brett Favre isnt likely to play in the Jets final preseason game, according to Pro Football Talk. It would be safe to say Im leaning towards that, Mangini said. Hed love to be able to get tons of work and have all the OTAs and all that stuff. Its just not where we are right now. The most important thing to me is us getting ready as a group and getting ready for Miami. I think the more work that he does with our guys in the group, the better. [I] really look at the last preseason game as being able to evaluate individuals as opposed to the team, and its really important from that perspective.He is a veteran and he doesn't need that final preseason game to get ready. He'll be there and going in Week 1.

Brett Favre feels like he belongs with the Jets, according to the AP. The ex-Packer said, "Its like starting all over again. I had some feelings that I havent felt in 17 years. Ten days ago, I was doing yard work. I felt like Im a Jet, I do. Believe me, I feel very comfortable here. The guys have been great. Theyve welcomed me. I feel like Im here for a reason. As Ive told the guys, Im here for one reason, to help you win. Ill do whatever that takes and I hope it works out."Favre could bring the Jets stability at quarterback which the offense has been gravely lacking over the past few years, meaning he could help improve the fantasy value of his new team-mates, such as Jerricho Cotchery.

Favre retired in March and then decided he still wanted to play, leading to a bitter divorce with Green Bay. He was acquired from the Packers last week and has been practicing with the Jets since last Saturday. Favre said his arm felt tired Wednesday and had his throws limited in his final two practices leading up to the game. Coach Eric Mangini expected Favre to take eight to 12 snaps against the Redskins. Favre has been cramming to learn as much of the playbook as he can since joining the Jets. He has looked mostly solid, with a few of the expected missteps here and there, while running the first-team offense. Despite some fatigue, Favre has been showing off the rocket right arm that has made him one of the NFL's greatest passers. [...]

While the fans in New York are slobbering to get in line for jerseys and the rest of the world seems happy to have Brett Favre with the Jets, it appears top wideout Laveranues Coles doesn't share the sentiment, according to Pro Football Talk. Sources indicate the two veterans got off on the wrong foot, believing Coles was close to Pennington and felt Favre had manipulated his way into the new digs. The two met to talk behind closed doors and, when asked, Coles refused comment, prefering to deal with it internally. Apparently Favre didn't agreed and aired the full context of the discussion and his perception of the situation to the press, and now PFT reports team sources believe this decision will make things worse.The report from PFT suggests Coles silence isnt about the fact that the team traded for Favre. Its about the fact that the team rewarded Penningtons loyalty and service by throwing him out the door. Thus it would seem Coles views Favre as an egomaniac and a force out of control, and his attempt to clear the air found nothing but further reports to the public by Favre. PFT reports unnamed team sources are now worried that the relationship is strained beyond repair and could have negative effects moving forward. We'll track the situation, but needless to say these two are having trouble finding common ground.

News: With Packers QB Brett Favre reinstated and back in Green Bay, preparing for his first day of training camp on Monday, NFL Network reports that the Packers are expected to announce an open competition for the starting job in training camp. While some may believe that Aaron Rodgers has an unfair advantage because he's spent the last offseason working with the coaches and perfecting his knowledge of the Green Bay offense, keep in mind that Favre is entering his 17th year, most of which were spent in the same variety of West-Coast offense that is implemented by the club now.

News: Brett Favre will be reinstated and added to the Green Bay Packers' active roster Monday. The NFL announced the move Sunday after commissioner Roger Goodell had held off on granting Favre's request for reinstatement for nearly a week, hoping Favre and the team could resolve their standoff. Packers president Mark Murphy released a statement Sunday. "Sixteen years after Brett Favre came to the Packers, he is returning for a seventeenth season," Murphy wrote. "He has had a great career with our organization and although we built this year around the assumption that Brett meant what he said about retiring, Brett is coming back. We will welcome him back and turn this situation to our advantage." The Packers had offered Favre a long-term, multimillion-dollar marketing agreement to stay retired so they could move forward with Aaron Rodgers as their starting quarterback. [...]

Packers coach Mike McCarthy says a potential marketing contract for Brett Favre could offer both the star quarterback and the team a solution to their standoff over Favre's retirement.Impacts: Just months after quitting, Favre has been considering a comeback. But Green Bay hasn't been eager to have him back as its starter and doesn't want him to release him, either. The marketing deal would reportedly be $20 million over 10 years. It would keep Favre from causing a ruckus by reporting to Packers training camp and might end his bid to come back. Favre confirmed he was considering the deal to ESPN Thursday.

News: NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is giving the Green Bay Packers and Brett Favre at least one more day to resolve their standoff before granting the quarterback his reinstatement. "The Packers and Brett Favre are continuing their discussions," the league said in a statement. "The commissioner preferred to let those discussions continue rather than act on the reinstatement petition today." Once Favre is reinstated, the Packers will have 24 hours to decide whether to cut him or restore him to their active roster. By not acting Thursday, Goodell decreased the chances Favre would be present at Packers training camp Friday. Favre also could be traded - apparently even to a division rival. [...]
