Jon Gruden Was Convinced Brett Favre Was Tampa Bay Bound

Former Buccanners coach Jon Gruden was convinced Brett Favre was coming to Tampa Bay last summer. It was early August, and Bucs General Manager Bruce Allen was working out a trade with Ted Thompson and the Packers for Favre. “I talked to Brett on the telephone … both of us thought he was coming to Tampa,” said Gruden during a national conference call Wednesday. “I went to bed thinking we had Brett Favre. I was sure we had Brett Favre. And when I woke up the next day, Santa Claus didn’t arrive. It was a sad day for me.” The Packers instead traded Favre to the Jets. The Buccaneers finished 9-7 and missed the playoffs, and Gruden was subsequently fired.
