"Rex Grossman is the starter," Lloyd said during a conference call.
Well, not exactly.
The Bears have said that Grossman and Kyle Orton will compete for the starting job next season, and Lloyd apparently jumped to a premature conclusion. When asked who told him Grossman would start, the receiver backpedalled.
"That's what I'm assuming," said Lloyd, who was released after two disappointing seasons in Washington. "That's what ..."
His voice trailed off. Then, he said, "Orton and Grossman signed one-year deals. I figured Grossman was the starter. Open competition is what I'm being told right now."
