UPDATED: Brett Favre no longer a Packer; dealt to New York Jets

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- The Green Bay Packers have reached an agreement to trade quarterback Brett Favre to the New York Jets.

Terms of the trade weren't immediately available.

The Packers had been talking with the Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers since deciding earlier this week that the team and the three-time MVP couldn't co-exist.

The Packers decided to move forward with Aaron Rodgers as their starter after Favre announced his retirement in March.

Favre's agent, James "Bus" Cook, confirmed the deal in a text message to The Associated Press late last night.

The agreement first was reported by Fox Sports on its Web site.

PACKERS-FAVRE'S FANS

NEW: Fans of Brett Favre, Packers split on who is at fault over fallout

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Brett Favre left Green Bay without a clear picture of his future in the NFL. Now, he's a member of the New York Jets.

Not all Packers fans are happy about that.

Don Harvey, of Ashwaubenon, was carrying a life-size cutout of Brett Favre and said he was so disgusted with management he planned to sell his season tickets.

Todd Brown, of Green Bay, held up a "Bring Brett back" sign.

Brown said he was disappointed with the way Favre was treated by Packers management and urged coach Mike McCarthy to apologize to Favre.
