Almost every Green Bay Packers fan is aware of how poorly things have gone for former superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers with the New York Jets. In fact, it has gotten so bad that there are rumors of the Jets potentially parting ways with Rodgers following the 2024 NFL season.
Those rumors have brought up the discussion about whether or not Rodgers would continue trying to play.
If he were released by New York, there would likely be a handful of teams with interest in signing him. Rodgers might have to accept less money than he has become accustomed to, but there would undoubtedly be opportunities for him.
All of that being said, another Packers’ legend, Brett Favre, has weighed in on the situation.
Green Bay Packers Legend Brett Favre Reveals Bold Take About Aaron Rodgers
While there has always been a connection between Favre and Rodgers from their time with the Green Bay Packers together, they haven’t always been the biggest fans of each other.
That being said, Favre spoke out with a bold and favorable take about Rodgers.
“There’s a little time to right the ship, but they better hurry,” Favre said. “If they do, and they make a run — maybe he walks away. I just find it hard to believe that a competitor of the magnitude that Aaron has been over the years would go out that way if it ended today.”
Favre continued on, revealing his belief that Rodgers is still more than capable of playing at a high level.
“I still think he has it.”
So far this season with the Jets, Rodgers has played in 11 games, completing 63.4 percent of his pass attempts for 2,442 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. His numbers have not been horrible by any stretch.
Even though he hasn’t looked like the superstar quarterback from his prime in Green Bay, Rodgers has still played solid football.
Seeing the former Green Bay Packers teammates supporting each other is a good feeling for Packers fans. Favre is still well loved and Rodgers will be after things calm down from the split.
Hopefully, fans do not have to live through Rodgers joining the Minnesota Vikings like Favre did. That is a possibility that has become very real with the recent rumors of Rodgers and the Jets potentially parting ways.
