The arrival of Aaron Rodgers with the New York Jets means Gang Green is suddenly an enticing team for the NFL to feature.
To that end, the league will have Rodgers and his new teammates in the first Black Friday game in NFL history.
It will be an AFC East clash as the Jets meet the Miami Dolphins on Nov. 24 at MetLife.
Front Office Sports reported how much it will cost Amazon for the game:
Amazon is paying $1 billion a year to exclusively stream Thursday Night Football for the next decade.
This season, the company will pay another $100 million or so to stream the NFL's first-ever Black Friday game.
