FOOTBALL HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE

ssAaron Rodgers gets a stump replica of his face, and it's ... strange

(FOXNEWS) – Aaron Rodgers’ time with the Green Bay Packers
appears to be over and following the path of his predecessor
Brett Favre is seemingly a part of the four-time NFL MVP’s
journey.

Rodgers will be traded to the New York Jets in a blockbuster
trade months in the making, according to multiple reports.

The full trade, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, is the Jets receiving
Rodgers, the 15th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and a 2023
fifth-round pick (No. 170) in exchange for the 13th overall pick
in the 2023 NFL Draft, a 2023 second-round pick (No. 42), a sixth
-round pick (No. 207) and a conditional 2024 second-round pick
that will become a first if Rodgers plays 65% of plays this season.
