Aaron Rodgers’ days in the NFC North have come to an end.
After 18 seasons, the Green Bay Packers finally ended his trade saga on Monday afternoon, officially shipping him off to the New York Jets in return for some draft capital. While many fans were relieved to see a resolution to the process, which has been ongoing for more than a month.
But for the Chicago Bears and their supporters, the celebration was for an entirely different reason: Rodgers’ nearly two decades of tormenting the city and its team are finally at an end.
The quarterback boasts an all-time record of 24-5 against the bitter division rival, and he’s suffered just one loss in the series since 2015. During a game against Chicago in 2021, Rodgers even went so far as to yell “I own you!” at the hostile Bears crowd after running for a touchdown in the 24-14 win.
The official team account took to Twitter with a hilarious gif of a bear waving goodbye to Rodgers’ departure from the division on Monday.
