Aaron Rodgers' sore throat didn't keep him from voicing his opinion.

The Green Bay Packers starting quarterback spoke today for the first time since three-time MVP Brett Favre was traded to the New York Jets for a conditional draft pick.

Rodgers was playing cribbage at the St. Norbert College dorms when the news broke. He says he's happy to get a resolution to the whole thing and that it's definitely been on his and his teammates' minds.

Rodgers says the team is happy that Favre still gets to play.

But he says now the Packers are moving forward together as a team.

Green Bay plays its first exhibition game on Monday against the Cincinnati Bengals.
