We’ll let you know on everything else.”

Rex Grossman is the starter in name for the Bears and is currently battling Kyle Orton for the first-team role. However, Rototimes sources report that it isn't Grossman that will play his way into the role, it's Orton job to lose. He will have to play his way off the top of the depth chart. A decision likely won't be made until both signal-callers get plenty of preseason reps.
May 20, 2008
Kyle Orton took the majority of the reps at quarterback during the Bears' first OTA, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

May 12, 2008
Kyle Orton is confident he will be the Bears' starting quarterback in 2008, if given a fair shot to compete for the job, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Orton said, "All I care about is if I get my chance. If I get my chance, I'm confident that I will win the job and play well. I don't really pay attention to talk of a not-so level playing field. I hear through third parties and all that stuff but it doesn't affect my mind-set or my thoughts as a player or anything like that. That's what you've got to believe. I've been told by the coaches that's how it's going to be, so I think it is. I think I've earned that chance to have a fair competition. It's the most excited I've been going into a season. I've put in a lot of work in the offseason and I'm just really excited where my game is at. I'm throwing the football really well. I haven't really asked how the competition will break down. I'm assuming it's going to be 50-50 and we'll go from there."

Kyle Orton signed a one-year extension with the Bears, according to the AP. It would keep the quarterback under contract through 2009. Rex Grossman inked a one-year, $3 million deal Saturday, and Orton's deal is expected to be similar in value. Speculation is rampant that if the season started today Orton would likely be the Bears' starter under center. It's unlikely he's do anything to make Bears' fans forget about Grossman, as both signal callers are pretty worthless.
February 24, 2008
The Bears are believed to be trying to extend Kyle Orton's contract through 2011, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The club just locked up Rex Grossman through next season. Look for Orton and Grossman to compete for the starting job in training camp and for Brian Griese to be released.
