The New York Jets reportedly have acquired four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers in a blockbuster trade.
Rodgers, 39, spent the first 19 seasons of his career in Green Bay after being drafted at No. 24 overall in 2005. Coincidentally, Rodgers’ move to the Jets comes 15 years after Brett Favre made the same move from Green Bay to New York to clear the way for Rodgers.
As for the Jets, they were in dire need of a star signal-caller. New York’s top-five defense willed the team to a 7-10 record last season despite a lowly starting quarterback trio of Zach Wilson, Mike White and Joe Flacco. With Rodgers, the Jets expect to add an instant star despite a down season in 2022. For a team that’s cycled through quarterbacks Mark Sanchez, Geno Smith, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Josh McCown, Sam Darnold and Wilson since the Favre experiment, Rodgers is certainly worth the price.
