I’ll be in there tomorrow.” On following Brett Favre’s path to the Jetsįor Packers and Jets fans alike, the sense of history repeating itself is unmistakable.

Off the podium, Rodgers told local reporters he understood the Jets gave the Packers a lot in terms of draft compensation to trade for him, and hinted he isn’t determined for this to be a “one-and-done” situation.
