While Aaron Rodgers wants to remain focused on his first season with the New York Jets, it appears the 39-year-old four-time MVP is already looking to the future. 

During a recent interview with CBS New York, Rodgers revealed his succession plan at quarterback for the Jets, which doesn’t include a one-and-done 2023 season for him. 

"I’d like to be able to play a few good years here and then hand it right back off to Zach [Wilson], and let him go for the next 15," Rodgers said. "It’d be a really special 18- to 20-year run of great quarterback play."

Rodgers has previously discussed playing two seasons in a Jets uniform, but fans must love hearing him repeat that he doesn’t want to be a flash in the plan in New York. 

And while it’s a bit far-fetched to believe the Jets will see Wilson, their No. 2 overall pick from two years ago, playing 18-plus seasons in a green and white uniform, it does show how much faith Rodgers has in his expected backup.

JETS' AARON RODGERS EXPECTED TO PLAY IN FINAL PRESEASON GAME VS. GIANTS: REPORTS

Wilson hasn’t panned out for the Jets. If he did, the Jets wouldn’t have been aggressive in trying to acquire Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers this offseason. 

The BYU product regressed in his second season in 2022 and was benched multiple times by head coach Robert Saleh, creating a quarterback roller coaster. 

With Rodgers as a mentor, Wilson seems to already be picking up some of his new teammates' nuances while continuing to learn the cerebral part of the game.

"I’m very appreciative of him and how much he is willing to help me because he doesn’t need to be that vocal," Wilson said of Rodgers, per the New York Post. Rodgers has also complimented Wilson in the past. 

Jets fans would love if there was a seamless transition at quarterback when Rodgers ends up calling it quits.

For now, though, the Jets couldn’t be happier with the situation they are in, having Rodgers aboard with other free agent additions that have vaulted the team’s expectations to Super Bowl contender. 

Greek patrol boats in the eastern Aegean Sea on Monday rescued nearly 80 migrants trying to cross from Turkey in inflatable dinghies in two separate incidents, as the number of such dangerous journeys increases.

Over the weekend, the coast guard picked up another 200 people who had left Turkey in similar boats provided by smugglers for Greece's nearby eastern Aegean islands.

A coast guard statement said 40 migrants were rescued from a drifting dinghy off the coast of Lesbos island Monday, shortly after another 36 were picked off from another flimsy vessel in the same area. All 76 were taken to a local reception center.

More than 14,000 people have reached Greece by land and sea so far this year, according to United Nations figures. That's about a tenth of the total successful Mediterranean crossings, most of which — about 104,000 — were to Italy.

Arrivals in Greece for the whole of 2022 totaled 19,000. Most were people from the Middle East and Africa seeking a better life in the European Union.

The government in Athens has attributed the rise in migrant crossings to better summer sailing weather and smugglers taking advantage of an increase in Aegean small boat traffic during the tourist season.

"There's always an increase in migratory flows in the summer," the minister for the merchant marine, Miltiadis Varvitsiotis, said Sunday. "But ... despite the increasing trend, the overall migration situation is fully under control."

After nearly a million people entered Greece at the height of Europe's 2015 migration crisis, hoping to move on to more affluent countries deeper in the continent, Athens stepped up patrols off the eastern islands near Turkey to reduce arrivals.

Human rights groups have accused the government of summarily and illegally deporting arriving migrants back to Turkey without allowing them to seek asylum in Greece, which Athens strongly denies.

In June, a battered fishing trawler thought to be smuggling about 750 migrants from Libya to Italy sank in international waters off southwestern Greece, leaving hundreds presumed dead. Greek authorities were heavily criticized for failing to evacuate the vessel in time.
