Aaron Rodgers has arrived at the New York Jets facility as the next and likely final step of his career begins.
After months of rumors, Rodgers was traded from the Green Bay Packers to the Jets on Monday, ending the four-time MVP’s time playing in front of the crowd at Lambeau Field.

He will now be tasked with leading a Jets organization that has not made the NFL playoffs in 12 years and has failed to reach the Super Bowl since the 1968 season.

Rodgers arrived at New York’s football facility Wednesday morning, greeted by owner Woody Johnson, general manager Joe Douglas and head coach Robert Saleh.
The Jets are hopeful that Rodgers’ addition will be the final piece of the puzzle following a wildly disappointing end to the 2022 season.
As 2021 second-overall pick Zach Wilson took a major step back in his second season, the Jets fell out of playoff contention, losing their final six games of the season.
Johnson made it clear he wanted to add a quarterback in free agency, finally agreeing to terms with the Packers on Monday.
The Jets will send the 13th pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, a 2023 second-round pick, a 2023 sixth-round pick, and a conditional 2024 second-round pick that becomes a first-round pick if Rodgers plays 65% of the plays in 2023.
