One Vikings Enemy Left but Another Emerges

When Aaron Rodgers left the NFC North — an unknown eventuality until Monday — it was the Minnesota Vikings who thought the division would become theirs after a finally exhale.

Rodgers was officially traded to the New York Jets to start draft week, concluding about three months of strange foreplay. The Jets will receive Aaron Rodgers, this year’s 15th overall pick, and a 2023 5th-Rounder. The Packers get the No. 13 selection Thursday night, a 2023 2nd-Rounder pick, a 6th-Round pick, and a conditional 2024 2nd-Rounder pick will change to a 1st-Rounder if Rodgers plays 65 percent of all offensive snaps this season.
