Jets, Bucs show interest as Favre preps for campby Associated PressUpdated: July 25, 2008, 2:11 PM EST649 comments add this Let the bidding for Brett Favre begin.
The drama-drenched Packers quarterback had a conversation with team general manager Ted Thompson in which he was informed that both the New York Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers were interested in a possible trade, FOXSports.com's Jay Glazer reports.
Favre would have permission from the Packers to speak to either of those teams, a condition they would likely not grant should any NFC North rivals inquire about the retired passer's services.
Meanwhile, Favre has told the Packers he plans to report to training camp this weekend, a move perhaps designed to force the team to quickly work out a trade for the three-time MVP.
According to an NFL Network report, Favre will formally petition NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to be reinstated as early as Friday.
Favre's presence in camp could cause a major distraction for the Packers, providing the team additional motivation to work out a trade.
The team committed to moving on with Aaron Rodgers after Favre retired in early March, led them to believe he was coming back in late March, then decided to stay retired — until he apparently changed his mind once again in recent weeks.
