This question is not "will" they trade, it's "should" they trade? The trading deadline is October 18th and the Packers will be 0-5. I say it makes since to get something for Favre rather than just let him get his brains beat in and retire at the end of the season. Plus it would be a great thing for Favre to have a chance to win another Super Bowl. The Jets were picked by many to win it all this year. It may even extend ol' Brett's career a few more years. It's time for the Packers to move on and begin the Aaron Rodgers era and he's gonna need lineman!
that is the dumbest idea ive ever heard, how is green bay going to trade the legend of lambeau. Favre is the best way for the packers to win. Rodgers wouldnt have nearly a good of a game
personatly i dont think the Jets would trade for a guy who is thinking about retiring this year. and if he was traded which will never ever happen he will definatly retire plus i would lose any respect i had for the Packer organization

the only thing your leaving out is who is calling the shots for the packers. If Sherman trades away Favre and goes 3-13, he gets fired. If sherman can pull out 7-9 he can stay as coach when he has favre at the helm

Walter didnt make deals with the opponent destroying the integrity of the game.
That is dumbest question I've ever heard. To quote this from somewhere I heard it from.............. We are all now more dumb for having answered this question!! Especially those biased who think Favre is NO where near the level of Walter Payton. Both are legends on their respective teams. Both have helped bring a Super Bowl. I am not as ignorant(my new favorite word) as some to rate one higher than the other. I rate them at that level of LEGENDS of the GRIDIRON! Both of them!

To pose a question like this shows that you none other have been praying for this to happen since 1999 when Barry Sanders retired and the Lions had no chance and still can't get out of the hole. Favre and the PACKERS ARE 1 GAME OUT OF FIRST PLACE IN THE NORTH. So lets not throw the season a way with trading,cutting, or benching Favre in the middle of the season. Heavens forbid that the Packers were to catch ONE break in each of the past two games and they would of been 2-1. In the north 6-10 means your contending. Continue to pray cause it won't happen.

Great Movie. Notice that it's 2 fans of Favre's rivals that want and think it should happen. Actually Bearfan neve really said yes but I am assuming so.
Joe Montana and Bobby Layne are HOF QB's that won 3 world championships with the 49ers and the Lions, both ended they're careers with other teams. There's lots of QB's like Favre with only one championship that finished up on other teams. Joe Namath and Jim McMahon come to mind. I say it's a win-win trade. Good for everyone involved. Sure a few cheeseheads would cry (And I would laugh at them), but as a GM that's not your concern.

The Season is far from over and the Packers are a game out of first in the divsion with 5 divsion games remaining. 2. The Jets would be stupid for giving a 2nd round pick. Get Favre who'll probably retire at the end of the season and give up a very valuable pick which in your case a 2nd which could be used on a Brodie Cyrole or Jay Cutler for your future. 3. The cap hit wouldn't be pretty for the Packers. 4. You throw a guy who barely beat out Craig Nall for the number 2 spot on the depth chart out there and he'll probably get lit up. You let him keep learning. Give him this year and another training camp to learn the system even better and you might and should get a better result. 5. YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME! To quote my boy Edwards. Your throwing in the season with Rodgers and go 3-13 which would be accurate. Playing Favre gives you a chance to go 7-9 or 8-8 and maybe make the playoffs and would probably keep you coaching staff so again Rodgers wouldn't have to learn a different system.
IF the Packers go 0-5, then its not a bad idea if they get good compensation. Right now it would be stupid, but at 0-5 you are not going to do much for the season. Say what you like about trading a legend, it happens. Rice got let go from the 49'ers, C. Carter went to the Dolphins, etc. If the Packers want to be nice to Favre, give him a chance to win another Superbowl. Its not happening with the Pack.

Not sure when the trade deadline is up I think end of Oct. You never give up on your season until your offically elimanated. Lions a stellear 1-2 Bears the same Vikings 1-2 and looking sloppy against the Falcons. Green Bay 0-3. If GB wins next week then the divsion has 4 teams all with 1 win assuming the Falcons were to beat the Vikings. Even if the Vikings were to win with all the games left in the divsion and the Packers would be only a game out of first. You don't do this trade. You guys keep mentioning the Legends that were traded. Dan Marino and John Elway are 2 guys that play the QB and stayed with their respective teams at the end of their careers. If Favre came out and seeked a trade then you can go for it but if he wants to stay in Green Bay which he wants then their not gonna trade Brett Favre. Keep hoping your Lions,Bears, and Vikings fans. It won't happen in the middle of the season. Again this is the dumbest question I've ever seen.

At that point you take what you can get for a guy that will retire at the end of the season anyway. If a team like the Jets are in the thick of it, you may get more for Favre than you think. Plus a 2nd round pick for a Super Bowl win is a bargain. Who knows, maybe another contenders QB will go down and teams will bid him up. He ain't staying with this group of keystone cops anyway. Give him one more shot at a Super Bowl run ... it's the right thing to do.
