NFL Green Bay Packers Face New & Unknown Future

Three years ago, the Green Bay Packers drafted the heir apparent top Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. Jordan Love was taken in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft. Further, Green Bay traded up to take Love. Hence, Rodgers’ football future was uncertain. The NFL odds narrative would repeatedly shift in the three years that followed. Subsequently, Rodgers won the third NFL MVP award of his surefire first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Fame career. While his intended replacement, Jordan Love, never wore his jersey on a game day as a rookie.

Green Bay Packers Preview

It is true that Aaron Rodgers would seethe throughout the rest of his time in Green Bay. He was irritated at the organization’s shortcomings. Further, Rodgers publicly blow-torched the franchise on numerous occasions. But then Rodgers signed a three-year, $150 million deal in March 2022. Subsequently, he proclaimed three months later that he would finish his career with the Packers.

Now he won’t. Not after the Packers traded him to the New York Jets. Indeed, history repeated itself. Green Bay traded Brett Favre to the Jets 15 years ago. Specifically, teams will flip first-round picks in the 2023 NFL Draft. Also, the Packers got the Jets’ second-round (No. 42) and sixth-round (No. 207) picks this year and a conditional second-round pick next year. Also, that future pick would become a first-round pick if Rodgers plays at least 65% of the Jets’ offensive snaps this season,

Meanwhile, the Jets got Rodgers and one of the Packers’ fifth-round picks. Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst clarified that the deal was official. Rodgers had to pass a physical with the Jets to complete the trade.

Specifically, Guntekust said that It was very important for the Packers to make the trade before the draft. It wouldn’t have been the end of the world. But at the same time, it would have certainly changed things quite a bit. So getting it done was important.

The offshore betting deal came weeks after the Jets’ top brass flew to California to woo Rodgers. Although the Packers reportedly privately were hoping Rodgers wouldn’t want to return to Titletown. Thus, Rodgers will spend his 19th NFL season not in the Packers’ familiar green-and-gold. Instead, He’ll be in the green-and-white of the Jets.

Rodgers Future

Now, Rodgers is tasked with saving the Jets franchise. Since 2010 the Jets have not reached the playoffs since 2010. In his third season as the Packers’ starter, that was the same year that Rodgers led the team to the Super Bowl XLV title.

Rodgers leaves the Packers after 252 career NFL betting odds games and 244 career starts, including playoffs. In sum, the Packers went 158-85-1 in those games. Including 11-10 in the postseason. Overall, Rodgers experienced the exhilaration of that Super Bowl XLV title. On the other hand, the Packers suffered some of the most gut-wrenching playoff losses any quarterback has endured. As a result, those defeats prevented him from a return to the big stage.

Now the Packers turn to Love. While Brian Gutekunst and others trumpeted his improvement during his third season, Love has played only 157 snaps. To summarize, Love completed 19 of 34 passes (55.9%) for 190 yards with one touchdown and one interception (69.5 rating) in his lone NFL start.
