Aaron Rodgers, Lamar Jackson, and the biggest sagas this offseason 

Everyone, around the NFL, saw two of the biggest sagas of this offseason unfold in the last few months. New York Jets were targeting Aaron Rodgers since the end of the 2022 regular season.

It took both the parties more than a year to reach an agreement but when they did, Jackson emerged out of the room as the highest-paid player in NFL history. And the league knew that every team had their main players sorted by the end of the 2023 draft.
