Aaron Rodgers’ Transfer to the Jets
The star QB requested a trade to the Jets after 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers. He took over Brent Favre, in 2008 and was able to be a four-time MVP during his tenure. He’s had a really successful career no doubt but later this year it was reported that he was even considering retiring while as a Packer. Rodgers said, “I still have that fire and want to play,” and later concluded by deciding his intentions to be traded to the Jets.
With his excellent performance throughout his entire 17-year career, Rodgers has managed to establish himself as a household name. One of the top players in the NFL, he’s not done with football just yet. Hopefully, for the Jets’ sake, he’s able to come back and give the fans what they want- one last Super Bowl championship.
