August 8, 2008 Packers president: 'Bittersweet time' as Favre heads to Jets Play video

(NECN: Green Bay, Wis.) - Brett Favre's journey from retirement and back has ended in New York. The Green Bay Packers traded their three-time MVP and Super Bowl-winning quarterback to the Jets.

"This is really a bittersweet time for the organization," Packers president Mark Murphy said at a news conference Thursday.

"I think we're all sad to see Brett Favre's career as a Packer end."

According to NFL.com, the Packers will receive a fourth-round draft pick in 2009. The selection would turn into a third-rounder if Favre plays in 50 percent of the plays this season, a second-rounder if he plays in 70 percent and the Jets make the playoffs, or a first-round pick if he plays in 80 percent and the Jets make it to the Super Bowl.
