Back in 1995, after they had shipped out Aaron Brooks and Mark Brunell and a year before they’d lose Ty Detmer in free agency, the Green Bay Packers signed former rival Jim McMahon.

In 1996, at age 37, The Punky QB would be Brett Favre’s primary backup. As you would imagine, McMahon barely played. His two-year Packers’ career would consist of this line: 4-of-5 for 45 yards, no touchdowns, no interceptions.

The real prize for McMahon was a second Super Bowl ring following the 1996 season. He, of course, won his first following the 1985 season with the Chicago Bears.
