Orton is Extended

Orton agrees to 1-year extension:

The Bears and quarterback Kyle Orton agreed to a one-year contract extension through 2009. Orton, who is 12-6 as a starter with the Bears, will compete with Rex Grossman for the starting job. Grossman agreed to a one-year contract rather than testing the free-agent market.

Orton finished the season as the Bears' starter, leading the team to victory in the final two games. He set a team rookie record with 10 wins in 2005.

This is a decent move, even though I will never understand why people think that Orton is a better option than Sexy Rexy.

But I guess that isn't my decision.

Now if only the Bears could find an offensive line.
