Soon-to-be former Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers won’t be bringing the No. 12 with him to New York. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Rodgers is expected to wear No. 8 once officially traded to the Jets – despite the blessing of Hall of Famer Joe Namath to wear No. 12, which is currently retired by the team.
Rodgers wore No. 12 for all 18 seasons with the Packers. Like in New York, the number will eventually be retired in Green Bay and placed along the inner facade of Lambeau Field alongside several other retired numbers, including the No. 4 for Brett Favre and No. 15 for Bart Starr.
