BROADWAY BRETT

The New York Jets have made a trade to land Brett Favre from Green Bay. In return, the Packers will receive a fourth-round pick that could end up as high as a first-rounder depending upon how the Jets perform during the 2008 season. "I am looking forward to seeing Brett Favre in a New York Jets uniform," Jets Chairman and CEO Woody Johnson said in a statement released by the team. "He represents a significant addition to this franchise, and reflects our commitment to putting the best possible product on the field."
