After his poor showing in Atlanta, the Falcons traded Brett to the Green Bay Packers in 1992. In 1993, Brett helped the Packers make the playoffs for the first time in over a decade. From there, Brett would lead his team to two NFC Championships and a Super Bowl XXXI victory. He also set the record for Most Pass Completions (6,300) most Pass Attempts (10,169) Most Starts (298) and he’s tied with Peyton Manning for Most Wins (186.) In early 2008, Brett announced his retirement from football, but later withdrew his retirement. The Packers then traded him to the New York Jets. He was released from his contract in 2009, after informing the jets he was retiring again. However, he signed with the Minnesota Vikings and played with the team until his final retirement in 2010.

Evidence failed to prove that Brett sent the inappropriate material but he was fined $50,000 for failing to cooperate with the investigation.
