After six weeks of waiting, Aaron Rodgers is leaving behind his brilliant legacy in Green Bay and heading to the bright lights – and massive expectations – of the Big Apple.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity on Monday because the teams have not officially announced the deal.
