Rex Grossman says he still wants an NFL job

The last time we saw Rex Grossman was in 2014 as an invisible member of the Cleveland Browns. A former first-round pick with the Bears in 2003, Grossman last saw significant time with the Redskins from 2010-13.


He hinted on Wednesday he just might not be through with his NFL career just yet.

"Would love the chance to return to the NFL but I need to get healthy first," he said on Twitter. "Hopeful that the opportunity remains on the table down the road."

That chance he's hoping for may have already emerged.

According to the New York Daily News, that interested party might be the Jets, who on Tuesday found out they would be without starter Geno Smith for 6 to 10 weeks after he was sucker punched by a (now former) teammate, and have reportedly reached out to Grossman.

Smith's absence has propelled veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick to the starting helm, but after that the depth chart gets pretty sparse. Another veteran who can manage a game is a valuable commodity.

Grossman has 56 touchdowns to his credit against 60 interceptions on over 10,000 yards passing.
