Favre to Buccaneers?
Tampa, FL (Sports Network) - The Brett Favre saga could be over by Wednesday with the future Hall of Fame quarterback reportedly being shipped to Tampa Bay.
The Tampa Bay Tribune reported late Tuesday night that a deal for Favre could be finalized by Wednesday as Favre stated he would not void a trade to the Buccaneers, though no details of the trade have surfaced.
The Green Bay Press-Gazette also reported that talks between the clubs have intensified.
Earlier on Tuesday, ESPN.com reported that Favre, after a 16-year tenure with the Packers, acknowledged that he was at loggerheads with the organization and believed the "best thing for this team is for us to part ways."
The Bucs, who are $26 million under the salary cap, open the regular season Sept. 7 at division rival New Orleans with veteran Jeff Garcia likely to take the starting snaps under center if Favre does not end up in Tampa.
