ESPN's Chris Mortensen is reporting this hour that the New York Jets, a team that already has a quarterback competition involving Chad Pennington and Kellen Clemens, have received permission to talk to Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre.

Favre, who has asked to be released by the Packers, is aware of the Jets' interest in him, according to Mortensen's report. Mortensen is also reporting that Favre plans to report to Packers camp this weekend, probably to await a trade to another organization.

Asked at Jets camp today about the ESPN report, head coach Eric Mangini did not deny that the team had an interest in acquiring the three-time NFL MVP.

"With all discussions, those things are internal and that really hasn't changed," Mangini said, adding that he and Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum talk every night about "a lot of different things" but always keep them internal.

Mangini reiterated that he was happy with the team's quarterbacks.

"I feel the same way as I felt yesterday and nothing's changed," Mangini said. "With any conversations me and Mike have, Mike likes to talk about a lot of different scenarios and he enjoys a good chart, he enjoys a good graph and he enjoys a lot of scenarios. That's what he does, and that's what he's supposed to do. So, just normal discussions that we always have."

But when asked if the Jets were looking into adding any veteran quarterbacks, Mangini conceded that it would be "normal operating procedure" for the team to look into "different scenarios."

"As I said, I'm happy with the quarterbacks we have and we look at a lot of different scenarios every night," Mangini said. "And trust me when I tell you that we look into a lot of different scenarios every night. It's just normal operating procedure for us.
