It happens every time a superstar of Aaron Rodgers’ caliber leaves a team he or she has been with forever.
They put on that new uniform and everything looks out of place.
In the NFL, it happened with so many players from Julio Jones to that Tom Brady guy wearing a Tampa Bay Buccaneers uniform.
Now that Aaron Rodgers is FINALLY a New York Jet, we’re getting a double-dose of weirdness. Not only will we see the QB wearing a different shade of green with the Jets, but he’ll be wearing No. 8 because his previous digit — No. 12 with the Packers — is retired because it belonged to Joe Namath.
So, here it is: Rodgers in a Jets uniform, wearing No. 8:
Trade compensation, per sources:
Jets get:
🏈Aaron Rodgers, pick No. 15, a 2023 5th-rd pick (No. 170).Packers get:
🏈Pick No. 13, a 2023 2nd-rd pick (No. 42), a 6th-rd pick (No. 207), a conditional 2024 2nd-rd pick that becomes a 1st if Rodgers plays 65 percent of the plays. pic.twitter.com/Q2vUMfyZGH— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 24, 2023
