Detroit Lions' Alex Anzalone: Aaron Rodgers leaving, but 'it's nothing you can’t get used to'

Aaron Rodgers made it clear Wednesday: His time with the Green Bay Packers is done. And Rodgers' pending departure opens the door for contention to every other team in the NFC North.

The Packers have started a first-ballot Hall of Famer at quarterback for 31 straight seasons, an unprecedented streak that's helped them dominate the division for most of the past three decades.

Rodgers led the Packers to eight NFC North titles and one Super Bowl in 15 seasons as a starter. He succeeded Brett Favre, who led Green Bay to another seven division crowns and one championship in 16 years with the team.
