Favre to the Jets?

Further to Richard's report that Brett Favre is intending to report to Training Camp on time in Green Bay, comes the news that the Packers and the New York Jets have come to an agreement that will allow the Jets to discuss terms with Favre.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that the Buccaneers have also made firm contact regarding a trade of Favre, but it is a common belief that the Packers would prefer to trade their former figurehead to a non-NFC team, and added to the fact that Green Bay travel to Tampa in September for a regular season matchup, you can bet that the price will be higher for the Bucs than the Jets.

The cost? No doubt the team will be aware that Favre is at least as valuable as Jason Taylor, who went from Miami to Washington for a 2nd round pick in 2009. They have been slightly compromised by the fact that they have indicated their own apathy towards having Favre back in a Packers uniform next season.
