NFL star quarterback Aaron Rodgers has reached a revised agreement with the New York Jets, as confirmed by the 39-year-old during a press conference at the training camp on Wednesday. While Rodgers did not disclose specific details of the reworked deal, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported that the two parties had settled on a new two-year contract worth $75 million, fully guaranteed, extending through the 2024 season. This means, as per the report, that Rodgers accepted a significant pay cut of approximately $35 million, considering his previous contract had about $110 million guaranteed for the remaining term.

Despite numerous requests for comments on the specifics of Rodgers' reworked contract, both the Jets and Rodgers' representatives refrained from providing further details. Aaron Rodgers, a four-time league MVP, had contemplated retirement after last season. However, he has now expressed his intention to play for more than just one season with the New York Jets.

The quarterback emphasized that his decision to continue playing is influenced by the enjoyment he derives from the game and the condition of his body. Rodgers acknowledged the team's efforts in acquiring him, trading significant pieces to secure his talent. He mentioned that there was an awareness that this was not a one-year arrangement.

While he recognizes that unforeseen events could affect his decision, Rodgers is currently having a fantastic time, leading him to view this as a more long-term commitment. The move to the Jets marks a significant transition for Rodgers, who had spent his entire 18-season NFL career with the Green Bay Packers. During his illustrious career, he successfully guided the Packers to victory in Super Bowl XLV in 2011,
