After months of speculation and a stalemate between the Green Bay Packers and New York Jets, the two storied NFL franchises were finally able to come to terms on a blockbuster trade to send superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the Big Apple.
In the aftermath of the blockbuster trade, these two teams are expected to head in completely different directions, with a rebuilding process beginning in Green Bay and Super Bowl aspirations in New York.
Unlike when the Packers traded Brett Favre to the Jets when the team had Rodgers ready to take over for the legend, Green Bay will be moving forward with Jordan Love under center, which may result in a tough year and potentially many more for the franchise.
Not only will the departure of Rodgers mark the beginning of a rebuilding process in Green Bay, but Adam Schein of CBS Sports believes the Packers could be one of the worst teams in the league next season.

Unless Love surprises everyone and proves to be a star in the making under center for the Packers right away, it would be safe to assume that Green Bay will struggle and be one of the league’s worst teams during the 2023 campaign.
It could be a rough few years in Green Bay, to say the least, as opposing teams will try to finally take advantage of the franchise’s shortcomings after decades of dominance with Favre and Rodgers leading the way.
Only time will tell how long it will take for this franchise to rebound as a new era gets underway in Green Bay.
