It should also be mentioned Hackett and Packers QB Aaron Rodgers are very close, which could be relevant if Green Bay and Rodgers decide to pursue a trade this offseason.

The Jets are a QB away from being an actual contender.

Hackett finished with a 4-11 record in his first and only season with the Broncos.
