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 =\

I like Grossman as well, how couldn't I.. he's a Gator, but regardless of that, I think this is a good move for the Bears. They only gave him a one-year deal and they don't have any other quality options to go with at this point anyway. Grossman makes a lot of mistakes but he's shown the same heart and determination for the Bears that he did at Florida. It looks like he's won a lot of his teammates over just like he did in Gainesville.
Grossman is starting to win me over, so I like this move. It seems like his teammates defend him to the death, and he showed a ton of improvement when Griese went down last season from his first couple games. Hopefully Lemonz is wrong and the Bears make a couple moves, at the very least pick up a quality RB which should be the offensive stable here anyways. They pick up a great running back, resign Berrian and pick up another receiver, the Bears should be in much better shape this year.

If I were the Bears GM I would let Berrian go. He gives up on too many routes and left Grossmann and Griese in the shit too often last year but not completing routes and then using the defense that he wasn't the primary receiver.
Draft a RB to go alongside Benson in the second round (there are a ton of good RBs this year) and look someone like Manningham or the LSU guy whose name escapes me at the mo or maybe go for Stallworth in Free Agency.
Yeah Doucet was the guy I was thinking off. What I have never understood with Chicago is that the wind in Soldier Field is crazy yet they seem to play the deep pass all the time and don't really try to take the 10 - 15 yard stuff.
I hate the term but I think the Bears need to find a "possession" receiver who can give Grossman an outlet if the deep ball is taken away who isn't Olsen.
There were too many times this year where the DBs would cover Berrian or Moose deep and then the only option Grossman had was to dump it to the TE which everyone and their dog can defend in Cover 2. Mix it up and get some different recievers, if the Bears do that then Grossman could do well so long as he cuts out the mental errors.

In my opinion, that's got a lot to do with Rex Grossman being quarterback. In fact, before he showed up, I can't recall the Bears ever being a deep-ball team, mostly because they had no one who could throw one. The only chance Grossman has of sticking in the league is if he learns to look for the underneath stuff, not panic in the pocket, and get a whole lot better at putting touch on his throws.
And obviously it would help if he had some more consistent options at wideout. I know a lot of Bears fans have been clamouring the past couple years to see more of Mark Bradley, but with the likelihood that the Bears lose Berrian, combined with the release of Muhammad... There's a good chance the Bears go into next year looking even worse at WR.
