Free agent Jeff George signed a one-year contract to return to the NFL, ESPN.com has learned. Financial details were not immediately available, but it is anticipated that the contract is for the league minimum of $760,000, prorated over the final five games of this season. The deal came after George huddled much of Saturday with Bears coaches and team officials.

During the 2nd and 3rd quarters of that disaster, I was tempted to file an FCC complaint as it was an obscene use of the airwaves. | Teppan-Yaki

Stupid move. Why? Because they should have done this or any move for a free agent when Rex Grossman got injured in Minnesota.

Jeff George's career stats. He's never sucked at all. He's been a head case quite a bit, but he's produced.
Good, albeit short-term, move by the Bears. A lot better than who they have now. | The Thrill

| #7 Posted on 2.12.04 0047.48 Reposted on: 2.12.11 0047.48 | | It's reported that Chad Hutchinson (didn't he play bad football for the Cowboys a couple of years back) is going to get his first start in a Bears uniform this week. So if that's true and Jeff George plays he'll be # 19 *does voice of Count from Sesame Street* "18, 19 Bears starting Quarterback since 1992 HA-HA-HA"... Scary or sad thing about it is that technically they are only one game off a wild card spot, even though their seeding is one lower with 4 & 7 bunch. | | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
