PITTSBURGH —

It’s official: Aaron Rodgers is back for a second season with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The veteran quarterback signed a one-year contract Monday morning, then joined his teammates on the field for voluntary organized team activities at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side. (See the video above)

It marks a reunion for Rodgers and new Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy, who was Rodgers’ coach in Green Bay when the Packers won Super Bowl XLV.

Rodgers is returning for his 22nd season in the NFL. The four-time MVP will turn 43 years old in December.

“He’s extremely focused and locked in,” Steelers quarterbacks coach Tom Arth said. “He’s such a competitive player, but he has so much fun playing the game. And that’s what I really enjoy about Aaron.”

ESPN’s Adam Schefter wrote that Rodgers’ deal “is expected to include a base salary between $22 and $23 million, with up to a few million more in incentives.”

Prior to Monday’s signing:

Before Rodgers signed his new contract, the Steelers placed the unrestricted free agent tag on Rodgers — a seldom-used move that could have entitled Pittsburgh to a compensatory draft pick if he signed with another team.

Rodgers’ first season in Pittsburgh saw the team go 10-7 and win the AFC North, then lose to the Houston Texans in the opening round of the playoffs.

“This was such a fun year. A lot of adversity, but a lot of fun,” Rodgers said following the playoff loss in January. “You know, my life in the last year – this is a really good part of that, coming here and being a part of this team, so it’s disappointing to be sitting here.”
