For the first time in over 30 years, the Green Bay Packers won’t have Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers under center come Week 1, but even in a post-Rodgers world, the franchise is in decent shape when it comes to the ever-important quarterback position.
This day was coming. Favre left during a drama-filled summer in 2008, and Rodgers, who turns 40 in December, wasn’t going to play forever. He was officially traded to the New York Jets on Wednesday. While change of this magnitude at quarterback is hard and provides a difficult path forward, the Packers have put in place safeguards and provided themselves options.
