The Aaron Rodgers era is over. Not officially, but effectively. Rodgers told “The Pat McAfee Show” on Wednesday that he intends to play during the 2023 season, and he wants to do so with the New York Jets, not the Green Bay Packers.
To be clear, this is the Packers’ decision. The team is ready to move on to Jordan Love. Now, all that’s left is for the Packers and Jets to figure out a trade and make it official.
The emotions of Packers fans in this historic moment are almost certainly split between the sadness of saying farewell to a legend of the franchise/sport and the excited anticipation of welcoming in a fresh start at the game’s most important position.
