There's a well-known and unwritten rule in the NFL that you don't trade with teams in your division and you try to avoid trading with teams in the same conference. The Bucs and Packers don't play in the same division, but the NFC rivals do have a Sept. 28 game in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium.
It's a safe bet the Packers won't trade Favre to NFC North rivals Chicago or Minnesota, but they're not going to get a lot of interest from AFC teams. That may leave them with little choice but to trade Favre to an NFC team and it sure appears the Bucs will be in the mix.
