Many fans remember the day that Brett Favre signed with the New York Jets after playing sixteen seasons for the Green Bay Packers. Aaron Rodgers was the quarterback of the future at the time. He had been drafted 24th overall in the 2005 draft. Now, the Packers find themselves in a similar position with Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love, the new quarterback of the future. While Rodgers still has two full seasons left on his current contract (along with two more option years to stay in Green Bay after 2021), the question has become: Will Aaron Rodgers finish his career in Green Bay? Or will Packers fans be subjected to another Favre-esque departure?
