Aaron Rodgers played his first 18 NFL seasons with the Green Bay Packers, serving as the team's starter from 2008 to '22 after sitting behind Brett Favre for his first three years with the franchise. He put together an ironclad Hall of Fame résumé as the Packers quarterback, though his time in Green Bay ended in strife as he was ultimately traded to the New York Jets.
Rodgers's final years with the Packers were clouded by uncertainty over his future after the team used a first-round pick on his successor Jordan Love in the 2020 NFL draft, a move deeply reminiscent of the one the franchise made in 2005, drafting Rodgers while Favre still appeared to have some prime years left. Rodgers would go on to win back-to-back league MVPs in '20 and '21, but each offseason was filled rumors about trade requests and potential retirements. The speculation hasn't stopped through his years with the Jets, and now an offseason in which he appears destined to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have been waiting on his decision for months.
