NFL world reacts to Aaron Rodgers trade to Jets
It's official: Aaron Rodgers is going to be a New York Jet.
The 39-year-old four-time MVP verbally committed to the team live on the Pat McAfee Show in March after an intense recruitment that saw Jets officials fly across the country to meet with Rodgers, top young Jets stars videoing themselves burning a cheesehead to woo the now-former Packers quarterback and the Jets even making moves to sign Rodgers' former Packers teammate Allen Lazard and add Super Bowl winner Mecole Hardman to their wide receiver room.
However, the Packers and Jets remained at a stalemate for the past five weeks as the two sides worked out trade compensation, leaving Rodgers in limbo.
So with the trade finally reportedly done, here's how the NFL world reacted to the news on social media.
