Rodgers walked into the New York Jets' training facility in Florham Park, NJ Wednesday morning ahead of an afternoon news conference to formally introduce him as the team's newest quarterback.
to acquire Rodgers from the Packers, a franchise-altering move that brings the four-time NFL MVP to a team that has the league's longest postseason drought at 12 years.
"Obviously, a long time in the making," Douglas said. "There's still some i's to be dotted and t's to be crossed to ultimately finalize everything, but it was a lot of conversations with Brian. ... "I'm not sure it's possible to fully express the gratitude that I have to the packers, our incredible fans, the state of Wisconsin, the thousands of players that I crossed paths with, the incredible men and women who work for the organization, and the amazing people who I got to meet along the way, in one post with 10 pictures, but I hope you read this and feel my heart and soul, filled with love, joy, and peace about my time in green and gold," Rodgers said.
Some fans and media have said that's a hefty haul for Rodgers, whom Douglas wouldn't say has committed to playing past this season - but the GM didn't appear concerned about that.The trade moves the Jets down two spots in the first round, where New York is likely to target an offensive lineman.
Rodgers was the league MVP in 2020 and 2021, but didn't perform as well last season while playing with a broken right thumb. He had his lowest passer rating as a starter and threw 12 interceptions, his highest total since 2008.
