After trading four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets before the 2023 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers have had greater success than many anticipated. The Packers have advanced to the postseason in each of the last two seasons with Jordan Love at quarterback. Prior to Week 18, they were 8-9 in Rodgers’ final season in 2022, 9-8 in 2023, and now 11-5.

The potential Pro Football Hall of Famer’s time in New York seems to be coming to an end, though that is not yet confirmed. Regarding his thoughts on his two years with the Jets, Rodgers responded as follows:
“These past two years have been the best of my life.” Fans of the Packers are sceptical that he is being truthful with both the media and himself.
