Brett the Jet, Favre that is

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.

Brett Favre is a New York Jet

Good bye Chad Pennington. We hardly knew you or better yet, we knew you were not as good as Brett Favre.

Today the Jets signed Brett Favre and released Chad Pennington.

This was a fabulous off season for the Jets.

Coming off a 4-12 season in 2007, the Jets had already spent approximately $140 million in the offseason, counting all-pro guard Alan Faneca, Pro Bowl fullback Tony Richardson, emerging linebacker Calvin Pace, former Pro Bowl defensive lineman Kris Jenkins and tackle Damien Woody among their haul. They also drafted Ohio State pass rusher Vernon Gholston with the sixth pick of the draft and traded back into the first round — courtesy of Favre’s former team, the Green Bay Packers — to snare Purdue tight end Dustin Keller.

New York’s maneuvers clearly signaled the franchise was focusing on its immediate future much more than its long-term future.
