    Rodgers is one of the best I have ever seen play. It was obvious his fit in Green Bay just wasn't right. Not sure if it was him or the Packers but there was definitely something missing. It remains to be seen who dropped the ball there. It looks like they are setting things up for him to succeed in New York.

    I guess Aaron wasn't kidding.
    If he thought the Packer backers couldn't relax,
    good luck lowering the stress level in New York.

    So for GB it's been Favre, then Rodgers since what... 1992? That's gotta be some kind of record.

    They let his elite receiver go but that was just as much his fault for taking all that money and he was pretty ordinary last year. GB did well to get rid of his contract I think

    Somehow the Jets will still suck.

    I’m just glad this part is done. I was getting tired of the story.

    I know right, this seemed like the worst kept secret for a year or something.

    Rodgers is a head case. The NY media is going to eat him alive.

    Aaron's best days are behind him. Looking at what the Jets are giving up combined with Aaron's salary, this is a bad deal for the Jets

    The packers should have sent the drama queen packing a couple of years ago.

    They should have traded him for a young quarterback, after his MVP season a few years ago, instead of getting rid of their best receiver, who is in his prime

    I'm hoping his helmet digs up enough turf to plant a big garden in. Say 65 - 70 sacks.
    Nice ending for the guy IMO.
