It’s Official: Aaron Rodgers no longer in the NFC North as Packers trade QB to Jets

The Chicago Bears are finally free from the Aaron Rodgers curse.

The Green Bay Packers have agreed to trade the Hall of Fame quarterback to the New York Jets for a conditional second-round pick that could become a first-rounder in 2024.

Sources: The #Packers and #Jets have agreed to the mega-trade, sending 4-time MVP Aaron Rodgers to the #Jets for major compensation.

Although Hall-of-Fame QB Joe Namath gave Aaron Rodgers his blessing to wear No. 12, the new Jets‘ QB is expected to wear No. 8 — the number he wore in college at Cal.

“It’ll be a day or two before the Aaron Rodgers trade is submitted to the league office — he’ll sign a revised contract with the Packers to facilitate the trade and help Green Bay’s cap,” NFL Network’s Tom Pelisero tweeted. “But everything has been agreed to and will be official before the draft. He’ll be a Jet.”

And with that, the Chicago Bears’ chances of winning the NFC North just went way up.
