Brett Favre Traded to the New York Jets

It’s now official…Brett Favre has been traded to the New York Jets. For the first time ever a cover athlete will be playing for a different team than the one represented on the game. What does it mean for Madden 09?

While a roster update is already out that had moved Favre to the backup slot for the Packers, another one is expected by the official release date. Favre will certainly be the starter on the Jets by the time people pick up the game. I’d fully expect to see downloadable Brett Favre covers on the EA website soon. I even believe there is a possibility they’ll release a new edition of Madden 09 with a Favre-Jets cover sometime in the future. This is a unique opportunity that EA will surely look to take advantage of.

For those interested, Chris Littman at FirstCuts has a 360 and PS3 cover using the Favre-Jets screenshot above here.

How much will Favre help the Jets in Madden? Can the Jets contend in the AFC? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

2 answer PASTA”s ? NO the Jets CAN’T contend in AFC & Favre WON’T be a BIG think back 2 SHAQ on the SUNS

1) it’s a WHOLE diff style from what Brett was use 2

2)all new team mates & tendencies 2 get use 2

3) isn’t Brett older than the coaches he’ll be very stubborn & set in his ways

I think this will NOT benefit the Jets good move the packs moving on wit their PLANS

Ouch! Man I bet he regrets it now. He wanted to come back and be a contender. Favre is a winner and winner’s dont take loosing very well, especially when it might be the last game you ever play. Football is a team sport, no crappy team out there can win with ONE good player.

GB had the choice between TB and NYJ and I bet they picked the NYJ just because they knew he would be a good fit at TB. They are doing everything they can to piss off Favre.

Being a huge Jet fan I have mixed emotions on this. Yes, Im happy the front office finally got a qb that can stretch the field. But, he is only going to be there for 1 year and thats it.

As far as Madden goes. YES, I will finally enjoy playing with them this year.

See you guys online.

Considering that the Jets apparently pitched him on multiple things, including the opening of a new stadium next year, it sounds like they expect him to be around for 2+ years.

Jets won’t contend this year, AFC is still to tough, and their still missing a few pieces. Maybe next year?

I’m not sure that Favre will be the one turning around the Jets season. He’s going in there behind the 8 ball, as he will only be in 3 pre-season games. He’s going into a new system with new terminology and new receivers. If he does stick around for more than a season, which I’m assuming he will, I think that we could see a decent Jets team next year. I think that with the Jenkins and Faneca moves there is a lot of change for this team and that it will take at minimum a 1/4 of the season for the team to gel, but probably more like 6 to 8 games. I see at most 8 wins for the Jets this year.

As someone who has had Brett Favre on numerous fantasy rosters (including last year) I couldn’t be more thrilled. Favre will be wearing green (and white) on my squad this year I presume…

I’m a huge Redskins guy, but I may have to do a side dynasty with the Jets now…

I really like this trade for the JEts. Only my opinion. Let me know what you think of this write up.

Offense

They completely revamped there guard position with some of the best in the business- Woody and Fanaca they have mangold as there center brikashaw as one of there takcles so brett will be taken care of without question..
They have Dustin Keller and bretts packer TE Bubba Franks. They have Jerrico Cotchry, who will have a breakout season without a doubt, pro-bowl type player in LaVernous Coles and not to mention fast stuckny or brad smith as there third wide out you know how Jennsings was to brett . Smith or Stuckny is brett this year coming as the third out. THey will have a solid running game with Thomas JOnes, 1 year under the system, and Leon Washington.

Defense

Drafted a hybrid player in the first round and will make a huge impact. SOlid at the corner postion with revis, last years pick, and Justin milliar who might have a good season. Kris Jenkins, will be conditioned and injury-free ,probably, and Sedrick Ellis are both pro-bowl type players. David Harris is a STUD Most people didn’t like the Vilma trade ,but if you compare Harris numbers to other LB such as a sacks, tackels you may re-question your opinion on the trade. Granted alot of people are saying the only way Harris had the year he did his rookie year was,because of the way the offense watched Vilma. Since I’m from michigan and watched Harris play you’ll get the same player like his rookie year every season,hopefully.

Special team- Mike Knugent is money.

My prediction for the season they can go 13-3 or 12-4

losses- Patriots(2 times) Reason- Revis is great ,but if he locks on Moss who going to cover Jackson, Welker, or Gaffney, and that doesn’t include the TE or the backs

Charages- LT,

(Possible loss) Seahawks- Holmgrem

They lose a 4th round pick and possible depening on Bretts Performance a second round pick. But with the draft being stacked with good and taented QB’s and Corner. To this up and coming draft class is like Gas prices are $1.30 you can get what you want, the jets, at a cheap price.

Then again, if Brett were to get “MADDEN CURSE” FORGET EVERYTHING I SAID HERE and do not ever listen to my opinions.

Im sick of people being on the Favre band wagon. The guy is so great cuz he was on a pass first team for 16 years. He threw 80% of the time and he has the touchdowns to prove it and INTs by the way. Its like this he broke Dan records but look at the time frame…. its like Emmitt breaking sweetness record if you run the ball enough eventually your going to break it. Ive heard he’s a winner the guy has just amount of superbowls as Eli Manning. I hear he is a gun slinger thats all fine and well but when another QB does what he does he is playn wreckless. Dont get me wrong he is a good QB, but for teams like the jets to think they will win cuz of Favre is stupid. Lets not forget that the pack last year had a top 5 D and the reason they lost was……. because of a legendary Brett Favre pick.

“Oh he runs and jumps around like a kid on the field” what joy do you get out of watching a 38 year old man act like a child? Must be Michael Jackson fan as well.
Im just mad we went through weeks of seeing favre all over the tv just to see him go to the Jets. Im just saying Brett’s titanic greatness is a lil overrated cause he broke all those records because, he had way more time and alot of trial and error. He is the only qb to throw over 15 picks during a losing season and stay the qb for the next season witout competition. Why you ask? He won A! super bowl 12 years ago.

i lost all respect for Favre. imo its was a mistake to have him on the madden cover after all. sorry, Favre and Green Bay fans. aaaaaaahh i’m just sick of seeing him on the sports headlines. these are not the kind of headlines a person Favre should be making. he left with everything, now he’s back for nothing. i wouldn’t even care if he takes the Jets to the SuperBowl and wins it. Favre is not satisfied, he’ll never be. i hope he gets injured (nah just kidding).

As a Big Jets FAN, I don’t take kindly to all you losers having something to say about my team. I knew we’d get him all along. WE HAVE NO QB. Now we do!!!!
Everybody who thought Vikings were just believing articles and rumor, I knew he was coming to the jets. Just made my season online a whole lot better.
