LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Some in his position might look at free agency as a golden 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.
But not quarterback Rex Grossman. If all things are equal—primarily the opportunity to play and the contract offer—the unrestricted free agent-to-be would prefer to re-sign with the Bears.

“I love the organization,” Grossman said Wednesday after working out at Halas Hall. “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. But if that’s not the case, ultimately I have to do what’s best for me.”
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 2003 first-round draft pick was benched after starting the first three games in 2007, but he performed much better in five contests 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.
