Rex Grossman did not stay unemployed long.  After much speculation that he was trying out for USFL teams and that no NFL teams were showing any interest, it appears he has signed a 1-year deal with the Houston Texans.  They signed him to the minimum amount for a 7-year veteran, which is $620,000 on the year. Apparently he will be battling with Dan Orlovsky for the backup job behind Matt Schaub.

I’m sure StevieY wishes he was here to write a true ode to the Sex Cannon, who was one of his favorites and just a fun quarterback to watch (painful at times, I know, but fun).  Unfortunately the Texans don’t play the Bears this year, so we have no real shot of watching him hold a clipboard for them in person.  We are all hoping and praying for a Matt Schaub injury (and possibly one to Orlovsky as well) so that Sexy Rexy can unleash the dragon.
