Brett Favre, QB, New York Jets

Thank goodness the circus can wind down . . . Favre is going to be a Jet, not a Viking. Damian Penny writes:

Many assumed Favre would go to Tampa Bay, but the Bucs already have about 35 quarterbacks on their roster. Favre will be a great mentor for Kellen Clemens — though Aaron Rodgers might have something to say about that — and the perennially underappreciated Chad Pennington will go to a team that desperately needs a solid, experienced quarterback. Ahem.

I'm so glad this is over . . . it's been a distraction for the Packers and the Vikings, it's made life much tougher for two young quarterbacks (Aaron Rodgers and Tarvaris Jackson), and it hasn't shown the league in a particularly good light. It's a shame that Pennington is reportedly being cut by the Jets, but there are indeed several teams for whom he'd be a very welcome upgrade at quarterback (Damian's choice would be the Chicago Bears, of course . . .)
