New York Jets fans are feeling ecstatic this week after hearing the news that Aaron Rodgers plans to play for their team in 2023. Rodgers, who spent the past 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, announced on Wednesday that he is waiting for the Packers to trade him. The four-time NFL MVP believes that the Packers want to move on from him and make Jordan Love, their 2020 first-round draft pick, the new starting quarterback.

This announcement has sent shockwaves through the NFL community and Jets fans are already eagerly anticipating Rodgers' arrival. However, not all Jets fans are celebrating in a positive manner. There have been reports of some fans burning Rodgers' vaccination card as a "sacrifice to their new king." Such behavior has been widely condemned by others and is a reminder of the extreme and harmful behavior that can emerge from sports fandom.

Regardless of the reactions of some fans, the prospect of having Rodgers as their quarterback has injected a new level of excitement and hope for Jets fans. The 39-year-old quarterback is considered one of the best players in the NFL and has had an outstanding career with the Packers. With his arrival in New York, many Jets fans are optimistic about the team's chances of competing for a Super Bowl title in the coming years.

«At this point, as I sit here, I think since Friday I've made it clear that my intention was to play and my intention was to play for the New York Jets,» Rodgers said. «I haven't been holding anything up at this point. It's been compensation the Packers are trying to get for me, kind of digging their heels in.»

«I have nothing but love in my heart for every Packer fan and everybody who works in the organization,» Rodgers said. «My life is better because of my time in Green Bay. But we've just got to look at the reality. They want to move on. They don't want me to come back and that's fine. They're ready to move on with Jordan. That's awesome. Jordan's going to be a great player.»

In response to the team winning the Rodgers' sweepstakes, a Jets fan took his vaccination card and burned it for all to see.
