Aaron Rodgers Writes Farewell, Says 'Heart' Always With Green Bay

Apr 26, 2023 10:11 AM

Aaron Rodgers said goodbye to the Green Bay Packers in an Instagram post Tuesday evening.

The message began with a number of thank-you notes and ended with a look toward the future.

"This is not the end for us," Rodgers wrote. "I will see you again Green Bay, you'll always have my heart."

The Packers have already said Rodgers will someday have his No. 12 retired and his name placed on the Lambeau Field facade upon his election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Aaron Rodgers Could Return To Lambeau Field In 2024

Apr 25, 2023 7:47 AM

The NFL's new scheduling formula could send Aaron Rodgers back to Lambeau Field next season.

The NFC North are due to host one team from the AFC East in 2024. It depends on where the teams finish in 2023.

If the Jets and Packers land in the same position in their respective divisions, it’s Jets at Packers in 2024.

GM: Packers Not Looking To Rebuild

Apr 25, 2023 7:19 AM

The Green Bay Packers have officially entered the post-Aaron Rodgers era, but Brian Gutekunst says the team isn't rebuilding.

"No, I don't ever look [at] it like that," the general manager said. "We're excited about this football team and where it can go. Obviously, we're a long ways away from what our 53-man roster and our 16-man practice squad is going to look like, but we're really excited about it. It's going to be new, obviously, specifically at quarterback, it looks like. But at the same time, the goals don't change around here. It's going to be the same goals we've always had, right?

"There's one goal here every single year, no matter what. And just like it was back the last time we moved on from one quarterback to the other, right? The goals are the same. It's going to be on those guys to put in the work. It's going to be exciting to see. Nothing's really changing."

The Packers agreed to trade Rodgers to the New York Jets for a package of draft picks on Monday afternoon.

The New York Jets have acquired Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers. Rodgers has long been rumored to be traded to the Jets this offseason, but a finalized trade took several weeks.

The Jets will receive Rodgers, pick No. 15 and a 2023 fifth round pick (No. 170) for pick No. 13, a 2023 second round pick (No. 42), a sixth round pick (No. 207), and a conditional 2024 second round pick that becomes a first round pick if Rodgers plays in 65 percent of plays.

Rodgers will wear No. 8 for the Jets as No. 12 is retired by the franchise for Joe Namath.

Packers, Jets Continue To Discuss Aaron Rodgers Trade

There is no imminent deal between the Green Bay Packers and New York Jets on a trade of Aaron Rodgers nearly a month after he announced his desire for a trade.

Mark Murphy declined to say whether the Packers are waiting for the Jets to accept their offer, or the other way around.

Murphy punted Tuesday when asked whether the ball is in the court of Jets general manager Joe Douglas or Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst.

"I can't really get into that," Murphy said Tuesday. "I know Brian and Joe have been talking."

Draft Weekend Seems To Be Current Target For Aaron Rodgers Trade

Apr 3, 2023 9:22 AM

The Green Bay Packers and New York Jets still haven't finalized a trade involving Aaron Rodgers, some three weeks after the quarterback announced his "intention" to play in New York.

According to Mike Florio, with the NFL Draft a little more than three weeks ago, there's no reason for the Packers and Jets to feel pressure until the draft kicks off.

The ultimate deadline, if the Packers are intent on getting one or more 2023 draft picks from the Jets, will be the moment the desired pick is on the clock.
