Move Over Joe: Brett Favre is coming to Town!

It's official: the Green Bay Packers have traded future Hall of Fame QB Brett Favre to the New York Jets. Good. By far the biggest name at quarterback for the New York Jets, since Joe Namath lead the Jets to the Super Bowl III.

It will be an interesting legacy for Brett Favre to build on. Joe Namath finished out his career in Los Angeles, with the Rams; while Johnny Unitas and Joe Montana finished out their careers in San Diego and Kansas City, respectively.

Now, add Favre to the list of franchise quarterbacks, who move on to ride off the end of their careers for another one.

As a Green Bay fan, I completely understand that the Packers back in April, made the decision to move on. The Aaron Rodgers era clearly begins in 2008.

It will be interesting to see how the final journey in the NFL goes for the thirty-eight year old Favre. When teams were mentioned as final destinations for Favre, as a Packer fan I thought New York City and the Jets would be fitting place to trade Favre too. It will be interesting to how much fire is left in the tank for old #4.

Thanks for the memories Brett in Green Bay. It will be interesting to see you in the AFC.

Should he stay or should he go?

What should the Green Bay Packers do? Should he stay or should he go? Yes, The Clash song comes to mind, after hearing the news today that Brett Favre may want to revive his short-planned retirement from the National Football League. Of course the song used the word "I" and the real decision is with the Packers now, since retirement was the original plan for Brett Favre.

Wow, what a nice situation developing in Green Bay over one of the best quarterbacks of all-time. Clearly, Favre is a QB that has skills, despite his original plans for retirement after last season. But, he also is in his final years of playing.

It's a tough situation for the Green Bay Packers. At some point, the Packers have to implement plans for life after Brett Favre as their quarterback. With Favre's original plans to retire this season, the Packers clearly began setting things into play for life without Brett Favre.

As a Green Bay fan and a person who has enjoyed the Brett Favre era over the years, I am not sure allowing Brett Favre to walk is a good move for the Packers. I guess Favre wants to take a page out of Joe Montana's playbook and play for another team.

It's too bad Brett Favre had a change in plans. I was hoping to see him retire as a Packer. The Packers do need a veteran QB in the mix with Aaron Rodgers and Brian Brohm, but I didn't figure it should be Brett Favre. The Packers should receive something for Favre, if he wants to go elsewhere?
