Aaron Rodgers is well aware of the Jets’ playoff drought, which at 12 seasons is the longest active skid in the NFL (and U.S. sports). But he insists he’s “not here to be a savior” — even though that is already the expectation by many
Rodgers hopes he and his new teammates can help add some championship hardware to a franchise hungry for winning.
The Jets received Rodgers, the No. 15 overall pick and a fifth-rounder this year from the Packers. In exchange, Green Bay got the 13th overall selection, a second-rounder, a sixth-rounder and a conditional 2024 second-round pick that could become a first-rounder if Rodgers plays 65% of New York’s plays this season.
Rodgers spent his first 18 seasons in Green Bay, helping the Packers win a Super Bowl in 2011 while establishing himself as one of the game’s greatest quarterbacks.Rodgers said he chose the Jets because he believes in the direction the franchise is heading with Douglas, Saleh and a young core of players that includes Offensive Rookie of the Year in Garrett Wilson and Defensive Rookie of the Year in Sauce Gardner.
When the rumors began about where Rodgers might play next, Namath offered to let him wear his retired No. 12 — Rodgers’ number in Green Bay — if he joined the Jets. Instead, Rodgers said, “To me, 12 is Broadway Joe,” and he will wear the No. 8 from his college days at Cal.
