Four-Time NFL MVP QB Aaron Rodgers Intends To Play For New York Jets
SALT LAKE CITY – On the Pat McAfee show, Four-time NFL MVP Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said that he intends to play for the New York Jets.
The transaction that would send the future Hall of Fame quarterback from the NFC to the AFC was reported on Monday, March 13, the same day that the league’s free agency negotiating window opened.
By joining the Jets, Rodgers, 39, would play for another team not named the Packers for the first time in his professional career. The move also ends New York’s offseason search for a veteran quarterback. The Jets finished the 2022 season with a 7-10 record. New York missed the postseason for the 12th consecutive season. The last time the Jets reached the playoffs was in 2010 when they made it to the AFC Championship.
