Welcome back to the Adam Schaefter podcast in a big week, a huge week, a historic week,

0:16.0

a week in which the New York Jets finally landed their quarterback for this season and maybe beyond in a trade

0:23.9

that involved six draft picks, changing hands between the New York Jets and Green Bay Packers

0:30.6

and Aaron Rogers winding up as the quarterback of the New York Jets, where he will wear not the number 12 that Hall of Fame

0:39.3

quarterback Joe Namath gave him permission to, but the number eight that he wore in college

0:45.2

at Cal as a sign of respect to the Hall of Fame Jets quarterback, Joe Namath, a classy move.
