Aaron Rodgers recognizes he's getting closer to the end of his career, but that doesn't mean he is looking to retire in the near future.

Appearing on the Look Into It Podcast with Eddie Bravo (h/t CBS Sports' John Breech), Rodgers said he's "hopeful" about being able to play "two or three or four more years" in the NFL.

The four-time NFL MVP did acknowledge he needs "to have some good fortune" for that to happen.

Rodgers will join a select list of quarterbacks who have started a game after turning 40 years old when he makes his first start for the New York Jets next season. There have only been 15 players in league history who have ever done that.

Tom Brady is the most recent quarterback to accomplish the feat. He was 45 years old during his final NFL season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2022.

Rodgers will be doing it coming off a ruptured Achilles he suffered on the Jets' opening possession of the 2023 regular season. He was attempting to return late in the year, even returning to practice in November, before New York fell out of playoff contention.

During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show in December, Rodgers said he expects to play two more seasons.

If Rodgers could make it through four more seasons, it would take him through 2027 and his age-44 campaign. It would also give him 23 years in the NFL, which would match Brady's tenure in the league.

The Jets have Rodgers under contract through the 2025 season. Last year marked the first time he's missed multiple games in a season since a fractured collarbone limited him to seven games in 2017.
