PITTSBURGH -- For Aaron Rodgers, continuing his playing career and signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers was a decision that was "best for my soul."
After officially signing his one-year, $13.65 million contract Saturday, the 41-year-old began his 21st season Tuesday by attending the first day of mandatory minicamp at the Steelers' practice facility.
"I don't need it for my ego," the four-time MVP said in his first public comments since April. "I don't need it to keep playing. A lot of decisions that I've made over my career and life from strictly the ego, even if they turn out well, are always unfulfilling.
