The Jets’ full-court press on Aaron Rodgers brings back memories of 15 years ago, when the Jets went after (and landed) another legendary Packers quarterback.

Long before Rodgers, the Jets chased Brett Favre in the summer of 2008. The Jets had to woo Favre in a similar fashion to what they are now doing with Rodgers.

It is a case of déjà vu for Jets fans who lived through the excitement of the Favre trade.

The Favre experiment lasted only a year and ended in disappointment after he suffered a biceps injury and the team collapsed down the stretch.
