(AP Photo/John Raoux) With negotiations with Green Bay at an impasse, it looks as if Brett Favre is headed out of town—and his destination might well be Florida, according ot the Tampa Tribune. The quarterback claimed last week not to be interested in talking to teams outside his old division, but a source says Favre has spoken with the Buccaneers. Bolstering rumors of an imminent trade is the absence of Bucs quarterback Brian Griese and general manager Bruce Allen from team workouts. The Bucs have several quarterbacks, but Jeff Garcia has been injury-plagued, Josh Johnson is a rookie, and Griese could be leaving the team if Favre works out a deal. Some think, however, that the Packers' asking price might be too high. Read These Next Saudi tells Iran to wise up, 'stop attacking their neighbors.'
