Aaron Rodgers has an idea of how much longer he wants to play in the NFL.
The Jets quarterback, expressed his desire to play in the NFL for at least two to four more years, citing the need for good fortune. Despite suffering an Achilles tear early in his first season with the Jets, he remains optimistic about his future in the league and hopes to continue playing into his 40s.
Rodgers emphasized the importance of the Jets addressing areas like the offensive line and wide receiver positions during the offseason to improve the team's performance.
“I don’t think that next year will be my last year,’’ Rodgers said on the Eddie Bravo Podcast show. “I felt like when I came here that I got kind of a renewed passion and love for the game. I felt like I wanted to play [with the Jets] at least two years and I feel like this year is kind of a lost year now that I only played a couple of snaps. I wasn’t able to go out there and prove what I’m capable of and see what we’re capable of as a team.
“I feel like I can play more years and I can be effective in my 40s, which is crazy because I thought that I’d probably be sitting on a couch somewhere at 40. But now I want to be starter at 40, I want to be a starter at 41. I want to see what I get out of this body.’’
Rodgers made the rounds on the podcast circuit this week, previously joining the “Keep Hammering Collective” show.
