At long last, the Jets have completed a trade to bring future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers to New York as their new starting quarterback, according to multiple reports.

Gang Green, after weeks and weeks of waiting, will reportedly swap first-round picks with the Packers, meaning the Jets would now pick at No. 15 instead of No. 13, and will acquire Green Bay's fifth-round pick this year. The Packers will get the Jets' 42nd overall pick in this year's draft, as well as their 207th overall pick.

In addition, New York gives up a 2024 second-round pick that becomes a first-round pick if Rodgers plays 65 percent of the team's offensive snaps that season.

With Rodgers now in the fold, the Jets have their star quarterback that they have been searching for for decades.

The Packers told NFL Network that they anticipate the deal to be finalized before the draft on Thursday night.
