New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who captivated the sports world for three months with his bid to return from Achilles surgery faster than any player in NFL history, indicated Tuesday that he won't play again this season.

But Rodgers intends to play in 2024 and beyond.

An upbeat Rodgers, appearing on "The Pat McAfee Show," said a return to action would have been "an absolute no-brainer" for a playoff game. But the Jets (5-9) were eliminated from postseason contention Sunday, and that cemented Rodgers' decision.

"If I was 100 percent today, I'd be definitely pushing to play," he said. "But the fact is, I'm not."
