Thanks, Aaron

While it's not official, it appears Aaron Rodgers will be a member of the New York Jets. 

Rodgers went on The Pat McAfee Show today and and announced that while a trade is not done, he "intends" to play for the Jets this upcoming season. 

I'm honestly so conflicted. Did I want him back with the Packers? Probably not. Did I want him to retire? Probably. Did I want him to go to the Jets? Absolutely not! The Jets were on a list of probably five teams I did not want to see him on. 

Well, here we are. It's not official, but it's all but official. 

It was interesting to hear Aaron say that prior to his "darkness retreat" he was pretty sure he was retiring, Then something changed when he was in or came out of the retreat that made him want to continue to want to play. 

You knew at that point that it was pretty unlikely he was going back to Green Bay, especially after the comments Packers CEO Mark Murphy made last week. 

Thanks for 18 years. Fifteen as a starter. Many highs and many lows. So much regular season success for Aaron and the team, and unfortunately, the success for the team in the playoffs was not the same. 

One Super Bowl Championship in the 18 years, while great, is not enough. Especially with the amount of times they were in the playoffs and even the NFC Championship game. 

Super Bowl MVP, 4 time NFL MVP. A phenomenal player on the field. 

Eventually, Aaron will be in the Packers Hall of Fame, his number will be retired and he will go into the NFL Hall of Fame as a member of the Packers. 

Tremendous career. 

Off the field, an interesting person. And that is putting it very nicely. 

Aaron's following Brett Favre's path so far of the Packers to the Jets, so does that mean he goes to the Vikings or another division rival next? 

For me, as much as I always feel like I say Favre is my favorite all-time football player, I only saw the end of his career, including only a his last few years in Green Bay. I've watched Aaron's entire career. From him coming in for Brett a few times, to him finally getting his opportunity, to being "the man." This really feels like the end of an era.  

Will be interesting to see what he does with the Jets. 

For the Packers, it's Jordan Love time.
