History is repeating itself. 15 years after Brett Favre left the Green Bay Packers to join the New York Jets near the tail-end of his career, his successor is going down the same path: Aaron Rodgers is coming to the AFC East.
The Jets and Packers reached an agreement on a trade on Monday, as first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
New York is getting Rodgers, as well as first- (1-15) and fifth-round selections (5-170) in this year’s draft. Green Bay is receiving three draft picks: 2023 first- (1-13), second- (2-42) and sixth-rounders (6-207) as well as a conditional 2024 second that will turn into a first in case Rodgers plays more than 65 percent of the Jets’ offensive snaps in 2023.
