Rex education: Bears QB leads scrimmage in finances (Kati Phillips, Daily Southtown, 11/1/2006)

When Rex Grossman signed with the Bears in 2003, he spent his bonus on a $125,000 Mercedes-Benz CL55.

Then the unexpected happened: He got injured. And re-injured. And injured again.

The performance bonuses stopped, and the quarterback couldn't afford the car payments. He sold it to a teammate for Blue Book price.
