Last night, the New York Jets acquired Brett Favre from the Green Bay Packers in a deal that leaves the Packers with a few draft picks to build on...and gives the Jets a chance to knockoff their pesky division rival, the New England Patriots. More importantly, it adds a great deal of signficance to a Jets franchise that suddenly finds itself in the center of the NFL world! Favre jerseys are selling like mad; and, Jets season tickets are suddenly in demand. However, the impact of the trade will probably not be felt on the field for some time. Favre will likely spend some time on the DL with an abdominal strain; and, the All-Pro QB will also need to absorb an entirely new playbook with a new set of audibles and an entirely new group of recievers. In the meantime, Jets fans are left with Chad Pennington and Kellen Clemmens. According to Jets insiders, the trade most likely signifies the end of Chad Pennington's career. The 32 year old is best described as an overachiever with an average arm who was sidelined with shoulder injuries for his entire career as a New York Jet. Tonight, the suddenly significant New York Jets will travel to Cleveland to face the Browns in a preseason game that will attract a lot of attention. Cleveland is known for it's great fans; and, the organization would love to pick up where they left off last year with a win in their preseason home opener. The key matchup for tonight's game will be the second half battle of backup quarterbacks. More than likely, QB Derek Anderson will start for Cleveland while veteran quarterbacks Brady Quinn and Ken Dorsey will see time for Cleveland. With the Jets in the middle of a QB shuffle, 1st year QB Erick Ainge may see significant playing time for Jets. While Kellen Clemmons will be forced to start the game, and Chad Pennington will more than likely sit this one out. It's hard to imagine that Clemmons would play well after having his starting spot snatched from under him. But Yeah....right.... Take Cleveland Browns -3.5 (-110) vs New York Jets Article Tags: Brett Favre, York Jets Source: Free Articles from ArticlesFactory.com
