It wasn't only Jets fans who rejoiced, either. With Rodgers' seemingly leaving Green Bay for the Jets, the fans of the Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears, and Minnesota Vikings were thrilled they don't need to face Rodgers anymore in the NFC North.

As for the Jets, the quarterback issues might finally be resolved, although this is a very temporary solution and Rodgers could decide to retire after just one year. This also comes on the same day when the franchise added former Packers WR Allen Lazard to the mix.
The Jets drafted Zach Wilson, although he failed to live up to expectations. Moreover, the hiring of Nathaniel Hackett as the offensive coordinator, who worked with Aaron Rodgers in Gren Bay, was another massive endorsement for #12.
No trades are official just yet, and it could take some time before something is done with the Packers having no urgency to rush this process. Nonetheless, this is a new era for the Jets and the Packers and the entire NFL.
