From one Packer-turned-Jet passer to another, Brett Favre thinks Aaron Rodgers will be just fine. Better than fine, actually.
Favre, the retired Hall of Fame quarterback who made his name in Green Bay before the team traded him to the Jets in 2008, had a path that is now strikingly similar to the one his successor is undertaking. After spending 18 seasons with the Packers – a tenure that included four Most Valuable Player awards, four All-Pro nominations and a Super Bowl championship – Rodgers was traded to the Jets Monday, ending his run as the longest-tenured player in franchise history.
