It finally happened.
With ESPN’s Adam Schefter reporting Monday afternoon that the Jets would acquire quarterback Aaron Rodgers from the Packers for a first-round draft pick swap, a second-round pick, a sixth-round pick, and a conditional 2024 second-round pick, one of the lengthiest flirtations between a superstar and a team in recent NFL history came to a close.
Despite having been telegraphed for months, the news still managed to set the football world on fire. Rodgers, after all, is a four-time MVP and one of the most successful quarterbacks of any generation.
