Aaron Rodgers will spurn NFL icon Joe Namath and wear the No.8 jersey when he takes to the field with the New York Jets.
On Monday, the Jets finally completed a sensational trade with the Green Bay Packers to secure the services of the four-time MVP. Rodgers - as well as the 15th overall pick and a fifth-round selection - is heading to New York in exchange for the 13th overall pick, a 2023 second-round pick (No.42), a sixth-round pick (No.207) and a conditional second round pick.
Rodgers enjoyed 18 years as a member of the Packers, winning one Super Bowl ring and a number of individual accolades. However, Green Bay expressed a willingness to move off the veteran quarterback this offseason and progress with young signal-caller Jordan Love, which opened the door for the Jets.
