| One More Try For Grossman In Chicago
Quote:
Rex Grossman has reached a one-year deal to remain as the starting quarterback of the Chicago Bears.
Grossman wanted to stay with the Bears, and Bears general manager Jerry Angelo and coach Lovie Smith wanted to give him one more chance to stay as their starting quarterback. On Saturday, each side worked out a deal in order for the relationship to continue.
Under terms of the deal, Grossman will have a $3 million base salary. He can make close to $2 million in incentives as long as he's the starting quarterback.
Several players on the Bears offense were pushing for Grossman to return as quarterback.
His best season was in 2006 when he started 16 games, passed for 3,193 yards, threw 23 touchdown passes and helped to take the Bears to the Super Bowl. He struggled in 2007 and started only seven games.
During the season half of last season, Smith used Brian Griese and Kyle Orton as starters. Grossman's signing, though, should resolve the Bears quarterback situation.

| I like Grossman so I'm kinda happy, I don't think he'll have any Recievers to work with though or a consistant RB =\ |

McGrady, whistled for a flagrant foul on the play, was ejected with a technical foul seconds later for chasing after Celtics guard Eddie House, who had some spicy words for McGrady before running away | |
