Rex Grossman believes he has a couple more seasons left in him. After signing the 35-year-old backup quarterback to a one-year deal on Wednesday, the Atlanta Falcons seem to agree. Grossman, who hasn't thrown a pass in an NFL game since 2011, is trying to beat out T.J. Yates and Sean Renfree for the primary reserve role behind three-time Pro Bowl selection Matt Ryan.
