Aaron Rodgers latest star to leave team where he ascended to stardom

That's New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers to you.

On Monday, the Green Bay Packers agreed to trade the QB who led their franchise to 11 playoff appearances and one Super Bowl championship.

Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP who started under center for the Packers for 15 years, joins a Jets franchise which has been plagued by losing -- they haven't made the playoffs in 12 years, the longest active drought in the country's four major sports.

It's arguably the biggest trade in their history, and calls to mind the Brett Favre swap with the Packers in 2008.
