Green Bay, WI (Best E Casino) - The Green Bay Packers reportedly traded quarterback Brett Favre to the New York Jets late Wednesday night.

The Green Bay Press-Gazette cited an NFL source as confirmation for the trade, and it said the Packers will acquire a draft choice as compensation.

According to the story, Favre preferred a trade to Tampa Bay -- in fact, the Green Bay paper reported talks between the Buccaneers and Packers had intensified.

But the Press-Gazette's sources said the Jets offered a third-round pick that might evolve into a higher-round selection depending on performance.

Favre was reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Sunday after retiring in early March in a tear-filled press conference. He was added to the Packers' roster on Monday, but did not practice with the club. The Green Bay paper reported the 38-year-old left for his Mississippi home Wednesday afternoon.
