Aaron Rodgers has officially landed at the New York Jets, with the 39-year-old quarterback finally unveiled in a highly-anticipated press conference on Wednesday.
The four-time NFL MVP and one-time Super Bowl winner laid out his desire to join the Jets on The Pat McAfee Show last month. Rodgers’ trade to the Jets ends his 18-year stay at the Green Bay Packers, who drafted him in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft at 24th.
The Packers and Jets ironed out a deal, with Green Bay getting a 13th overall pick, a 2023 second-round pick at No43 and a 207th sixth-round pick. They will also see a conditional second round pick become a first in 2024 should Rodgers play 65 per cent of the plays. The Jets, meanwhile, will get the Packers’ No15 pick and a fifth-rounder. Here’s what Mirror Sport noticed from Rodgers’ Jets arrival and his first press conference.
