That followed a 2011 season in which Grossman started 13 games. In that time, he completed 58 percent of his passes for 3,151 yards, 16 touchdowns and 20 interceptions. He did not throw a pass last season.
Grossman enters his 11th NFL season in 2013. He has served primarily as a backup throughout his career, but Mike Jones of the Washington Post confirms the former Florida quarterback is excited about another year with the Redskins:
Rex Grossman confirms retrn. said he's very excited to be back with the Redskins. Said he's looking fwd to contributing and getting better.

Grossman may not be a shoe-in to return as the emergency quarterback in 2013 for the Redskins. Washington may be close to signing former West Virginia and Miami Dolphins quarterback Pat White, who would be much more of a fit for the read-option portion of the team’s offense.
