Green Bay Packers star makes brutal joke at Aaron Rodgers’ expense

Aaron Rodgers was protected by Green Bay Packers star left tackle David Bakhtiari for a decade, with the pair becoming great friends before the quarterback’s move to New York

Green Bay Packers star David Bakhtiari jokingly fired a shot at New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers as the NFC North franchise move forwards with Jordan Love.

Earlier this offseason amid plenty of speculation, the Jets finally completed a sensational trade with the Packers to acquire the four-time MVP. Rodgers, the 15th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and a fifth-round pick were sent to New York in exchange for the 2023 13th overall pick, a 2023 second-round pick (No. 42), a sixth-round pick (No. 207) and a conditional second round pick in 2024.

Rodgers enjoyed 18 years as a member of the Packers, winning a Super Bowl ring and a collection of individual accolades. However, Green Bay expressed a willingness to move off the veteran this offseason and progress with young quarterback Love, who the franchise selected in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft before Rodgers won successive MVP awards.

Rodgers is clearly excited to be in New York, taking a $34 million (£26.5m) pay cut to grant the Jets more cap space to add talent before the NFL trade deadline on October 31. However, it seems his old teammates are perhaps excited to move on with a new, more athletic quarterback in the form of Love.
