The Green Bay Packers will be keeping one eye on Aaron Rodgers for as long as he is still in the league.  The future Hall Of Famer was traded to the New York Jets one off-season ago just days before the 2023 NFL Draft.

While the Lions may be early off-season favorites to repeat as champs, it’s a different rival who is missing a cornerstone player at voluntary workouts.
