 After his March 2008 retirement from Green Bay, Brett Favre decided to return to action that summer and was traded to the New York Jets by his former team.The trade included a clause that would have forced the Jets to forfeit all of their 2009 draft picks to the Packers if they tried to trade him to Minnesota.Following a 2008 season in which the Jets did not reach the playoffs with a 9–7 record, Favre retired a second time.
