NFL Star Favre Traded to Jets

NEW YORK (AFP) - The Green Bay Packers announced they had reached an agreement to trade Brett Favre to the New York Jets.

Although the Packers did not disclose the terms of the deal, the American media reported that Green Bay dealt Favre for a conditional draft pick - which would be based on the Jets' performance in 2008.

Packers chief executive Mark Murphy and general manager Ted Thompson issued a joint statement:

"Brett has had a long and storied career in Green Bay, and the Packers owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude for everything he accomplished on the field and for the impact he made in the state," the statement read.

"It is with some sadness that we make this announcement, but also with the desire for certainty that will allow us to move the team and organization forward in the most positive way possible."
