In a recent episode of the podcast "Look Into It with Eddie Bravo," New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers expressed his optimism about continuing his NFL career for "two, three or four more years." The statement came as Rodgers discussed his ongoing rehabilitation from a torn Achilles tendon.

Rodgers, who is currently 40 years old, stated that he is in a good place in terms of his rehab progress. He revealed his hopes of extending his playing career, acknowledging that a certain amount of good fortune would also be necessary.

The Jets acquired Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers in late April, utilizing a trade that included multiple draft picks. However, Rodgers' time on the field with his new team was short-lived as he suffered the Achilles injury just four plays into the season opener against the Buffalo Bills.

Despite returning to practice within three months after surgery, Rodgers did not make a comeback to game action due to the Jets being out of playoff contention. Throughout the season, he consistently emphasized his intent to return for the 2024 season, which will be the final year of his restructured contract with the team.

If Rodgers does indeed play for the entire 2023 season and achieve a minimum of 65 percent of the snaps, the conditional 2024 second-round pick the Jets traded to the Packers will become a first-round pick.

As the offseason approaches, Rodgers remains focused on his recovery and preparing for the upcoming season. With his determination to extend his career and the Jets' investment in him, fans eagerly await his return to the field in the 2024 NFL season.

While uncertainty lingers, Rodgers' positive outlook and commitment to his rehabilitation suggest that he is working diligently to ensure his presence in the league for several more seasons.
