The New York Jets have completed a sensational trade with the Green Bay Packers to secure the services four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers.
On Monday, it was confirmed that Rodgers 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 that becomes a first if the quarterback plays 65 percent of snaps. The Jets finally land Rodgers, as well as the 15th overall pick and a fifth-round selection (no.70).
Rodgers was drafted by the Packers in 2005 before assuming the starting role from Brett Favre in 2008, with his Hall of Fame predecessor also opting to join the Jets after an iconic stint in Green Bay. Many thought Favre’s ill-fated tenure in New York would have served as a warning to Rodgers about moving to New York, but he gave the switch the go ahead after holding productive meetings with the Jets brass. The Super Bowl XLV MVP was offered the iconic no.12 after receiving the blessing of legendary Jets former quarterback Joe Namath, but he will reportedly wear no.8 - his shirt in college.
