Aaron Rodgers’ time with the Green Bay Packers appears to be over and following the path of his predecessor Brett Favre is seemingly a part of the four-time NFL MVP’s journey.

Rodgers will be traded to the New York Jets in a blockbuster trade months in the making, according to multiple reports. 

The full trade, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, is the Jets receiving Rodgers, the 15th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and a 2023 fifth-round pick (No. 170) in exchange for the 13th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, a 2023 second-round pick (No. 42), a sixth-round pick (No. 207) and a conditional 2024 second-round pick that will become a first if Rodgers plays 65% of plays this season.

Rodgers mapped out his intentions on "The Pat McAfee Show" recently that he expects to be dealt to the Jets following his four-day darkness retreat, where he initially believed that he would come out wanting to retire. That obviously wasn't the case. 

The Jets and Packers had stalled talks in recent weeks, but they were reactivated on Monday and things moved quicker than expected. Some reports believed a deal would be done by the end of the week, as the NFL Draft has a way of bringing trades to the forefront. 

Now, with the picks agreed upon, both teams have the ability to head into Draft Night without the Rodgers elephant in the room.
