Great news for the Packers!!!
Grossman agrees to one-year contract with Bears
By Larry Mayer
INDIANAPOLIS – Some in his position might have looked at free agency as a ticket out of a town, as a chance to start over with a different team in a new city where the scrutiny isn’t as relentless.
Rex Grossman will return for his sixth season with the Bears in 2008.
But not quarterback Rex Grossman. On Saturday, the 2003 first-round draft pick agreed to a one-year contract with the Bears.
“I love the organization,” Grossman told ChicagoBears.com late last month. “They drafted me. A lot of bad things have happened to me since I’ve been here with injuries and things, but the 2006 season was a special one. We almost completed the ultimate goal. I want to finish that. I want to finish what I started and I want to be a Bear for the rest of my life.”
Grossman helped lead the Bears to the Super Bowl in 2006 in his first full season as a starter, but he was heavily criticized for committing a rash of turnovers in a handful of poor outings.
The former Florida star was benched after starting the first three games in 2007, but he performed much better in five games after regaining the No. 1 job from Brian Griese.
Grossman passed for 913 yards with 3 touchdowns, 1 interception and an 80.2 passer rating in his second stint, a vast improvement after throwing for 500 yards with 1 TD, 6 interceptions and a 45.2 rating in the first three games.
Despite the scrutiny he has endured, Grossman didn’t seek a clean slate elsewhere.
“You can get a fresh start, but the Bears to me are a known commodity,” Grossman said in January. “You know what you’re going into. You know you’ve got a bunch of great teammates around you.
“The coaching staff knows what I can do more than any coaching staff. They know what my potential is. That’s always comforting when you know that the coaching staff knows exactly how good you can become and good you can be. There are a lot of good things about being a Bear.”
Addressing the media after the Bears season concluded, general manager Jerry Angelo and coach Lovie Smith both said they wanted Grossman to return, but also agreed that stabilizing the quarterback position remains a top priority.
“We would like to have Rex back in the mix,” Angelo said at the time. “Rex showed some good play, particularly when he was coming back off his little sabbatical. But again, we’ve got to get that stabilized. That’s got to be first and foremost.”
“Rex has won a lot of football games for us around here,” Smith added. “You look at how he played at the end of the football season until he came up with that injury, he is playing good football. We would like for him to come back again.”
Grossman is expected to compete for the starting job with Kyle Orton, who looked impressive in closing 2007 by leading the Bears to their only back-to-back wins of the season over the Packers and Saints.
“[Grossman] understands it,” Angelo said Thursday at the NFL Combine. “He’s talked to Lovie about it. I’ve talked to his agent about it. He’s fine with it. Obviously we want to get the best player under center. Kyle did some good things at the end. I think he deserves the right to compete at the position."

IMHO
if the bears sign leftwich and make him the starter, they would be a much better team on offenseComment

I was waiting for it!!Originally posted by Iron MikeSome things NEVER get old:
If Wrex is going to compete with Orton for the starting job - as they are currently claiming - then you need to post drunk Orton pics, too.
I don't see Leftwich being a good answer for da Bears, but I sure hope whoever they bring in is good at getting caught in embarrassing photo moments. Otherwise, I don't think he can compete with Wrex and Kyle...Comment

Adam Schefter of NFL Network is reporting that the one-year contract signed by Bears quarterback Rex Grossman today includes $1.5 million in guaranteed money.
Overall, Schefter reports, it's a one-year, $3 million contract, with half of that guaranteed and with another $2 million in incentives.
That ain't much $ for a starting QB, even one as poor as Wrecksy. I'm so glad to see him sign on with the Bears, he so retards their progress!Comment
