Well, I think it's solved. Here's what I've learned:

It was recently reported that the Jets returned the seventh-round pick (2010) they received from the Packers in the Brett Favre trade. In fact, this transaction, revealed this week by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, was completed before the draft. Basically, the Jets didnt want any conditions attached to future first-round picks.

As you know, there was a poison pill in the original trade agreement that wouldve required the Jets to send future No. 1 picks to the Packers if they traded Favre to the Vikings. In the days leading up to the draft, plotting to trade up for QB Mark Sanchez, the Jets wanted to have the flexibility to deal a future No. 1 pick, if necessary. To satisfy a league technicality, they had to make sure those picks were unencumbered -- even though there was no chance they'd trade him to the Vikes. To get the Packers to re-do the trade, they had to send the seventh rounder back to Green Bay.

"In the spirit of cooperation with Green Bay, it allowed us flexibility going forward and closure to the Favre trade for all sides," GM Mike Tannenbaum told me -- finally.

You get it? I hope so, because I'm not totally sure I do. In essence, the trade was re-done for clerical reasons.
