GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) – Aaron Rodgers is officially a New York Jet and is bidding farewell to Packer fans and the city after spending 18 years as a member of the green and gold.
Rodgers posted a heartfelt message on Instagram on Tuesday night with photos of him over the years with teammates and Packer management, saying, “I’m not sure it’s fully possible to fully express the gratitude that I have to the Packers, our incredible fans, the state of Wisconsin, the thousands of players that I crossed paths with, the incredible men and women who work for the organization, and the amazing people who I got to meet along the way, in one post with 10 pictures, but I hope you read this and feel my heart and soul, filled with love, joy, and peace about my time in green and gold.”
“I grew up in Green Bay, drafted at 21 , fell in love with the game, met some lifelong friends, and take with me memories that will last a lifetime.”
Ari Meirov with The 33rd Team posted the full letter on his Twitter.
