bradjock Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 per the Suntimes. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...-bear23.article Peace You beat me to it. I posted this is another thread before seeing yours. If it happens it means: 1. Grossman & Orton will be competing for the #1 job--Does anyone think Orton can win this job? Last year Grossman was clearly superior to Orton, and the coaches & players all see to LOVE Rex. 2. Griese will be cut--I'm sure there will be trade speculation, but nobody will give much for a guy they figure will be cut anyway. While I'm confused at why Rex is loved, I'm also confused at why Griese is hated so much. He's seemed to have a cold relationship towards his teammates & coaches. Other then the debate about whether or not he called the plays on the winning drive (why the hell can't I remember what game that was?) He's never said or done anything at least publicly that gives the indication that he's a bad guy. My head hurts right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's resign Rex, have he and Orton battle it out for the #1, cut Griese before we need to pay him his 300K (what can we honestly get for him in a trade, a mousepad and a napkin?), have our draftee (Henne, Flacco) hold the clipboard and take up the speed of the game, and next year, maybe trade Rex or keep him, depending on the Henne's/Flacco's progression.

bowlingtwig Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I think it will be tough to trade him considering his contract isn't exactly a cheap one. He is making starting money. I do see him being cut, just not sure. Any idea how much his roster bonus is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingtwig Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Remember that Rex's deal is just a 1 yr deal so we won't be able to trade him. Then again what could be possibly get for Rex. Not much I am assuming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
