The Packers dealt franchise icon Aaron Rodgers to a familiar place, the same team where they sent Brett Favre to begin the Rodgers era in Green Bay.
GREEN BAY — The reality hit Aaron Rodgers as he sat in the parking lot of a Bed, Bath & Beyond in suburban Los Angeles in the spring of 2020.
The narrative would shift repeatedly in the three years that followed. In 2020, he’d win the third NFL MVP award of his surefire first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Fame career while his intended replacement, Jordan Love, never wore his No. 10 jersey on a game day as a rookie. And now he won’t, not after the Packers traded him to the New York Jets Monday. The teams will flip first-round picks in this week's draft and the Packers will get the Jets' second-round and sixth-round picks this year and a conditional second-round pick next year that could become a first-round pick if Rodgers plays at least 65% of the team's plays this season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Rodgers leaves the Packers after 252 career games and 244 career starts, including playoffs. The Packers went 158-85-1 in those games, including 11-10 in the postseason, where Rodgers not only experienced the exhilaration of that Super Bowl XLV title but some of the most gut-wrenching playoff losses any quarterback has endured, preventing him from a return to the big stage.The closest he would come was the NFC championship game following the 2014, 2016, 2019 and 2020 seasons.
Rodgers, playing with a broken thumb on his right hand and struggling to get on the same page with young receivers following the offseason trade that sent three-time first-team All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders, completed 64.6% of his passes for 3,695 yards with 26 touchdowns, 12 interceptions and 32 sacks for a career-low passer rating of 91.1. In 17 games, Rodgers never threw for 300 yards in a game, and he had a passer rating above 100 in just three games.
Love completed 19 of 34 passes for 190 yards with one touchdown and one interception in his lone NFL start, a 13-7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in November 2021 with Rodgers sidelined by COVID-19.
