New York Jets set to receive unexpected bonus after completing Aaron Rodgers trade

The Rodgers trade saga has been the story of the NFL off-season, and has dominated the sport's news cycle for months. After the end of what was a disappointing season for the Packers, Rodgers hinted it was time for him to move on.
