Favre Frenzy Finally Over

Brett Favre is now a member of the New York Jets. According to ESPN's Chris Mortenson the Jets have acquired the future hall-of-famer for a conditional draft pick.

The contingency goes as follows:
The initial draft dick is a 2009 fourth rounder.
If Favre takes 50% of the snaps it becomes a third round pick.
If Favre takes 70% of the snaps and the Jets make the playoffs it becomes a second rounder.
If Favre takes 80% of the snaps and the Jets make it to the Superbowl it becomes a first rounder.

This puts the finishing touches on a very active off season for the Jets who have also added Alan Faneca, Damien Woody, Calvin Pace, and Bubba Franks via free agency.

The addition of Favre, as well as the others, would have to put the Jets in the playoff discussion. The biggest question is how well the 38 year old will hold up throughout the season. If he stays healthy the Jets are certainly a strong contender for a wild card spot. They still do not have quite the firepower to push the Patriots for the division, but stranger things have happened.

For the Packers, particularly Aaron Rodgers, this has to be a sigh of relief. They can now move on in the post Favre-era. Now they can focus on what is most important: winning football games.
