Adam Schefter Broke the Aaron Rodgers Trade Live on ESPN, and the On-Screen Reactions Were Incredible /

In this story:

Aaron Rodgers is a New York Jet. Finally.

That news that we’ve all been waiting on for what feels like forever was broken by ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter on Monday afternoon, and he did so on live TV, which led to some tremendous reactions by the other analysts on NFL Live.

Schefter read the trade details out loud from his phone, which was a pretty dramatic way to find out about a trade that sends one of the best quarterbacks ever to play the game to a new team, with Rodgers joining what should be a very fun AFC East in 2023.

This moment was electric:

Amazing.
