It depends on what the offense is, and what kind of a bargaining position you are in. SOMETIMES the prosecutor will offer to let you plead to a lesser offense if you offer to plead guilty without going to trial. If you are a multiple offender and the police have several unsolved crimes that you know that you committted, SOMETIMES if you offer to plead to them, you COULD be offered a lesser offense. It all depends on the circumstances.

Could a defendant reject a plea bargain after signing?

If you (or your attorney), signed a plea agreement it means you have 'pled' guilty to a lesser offense than the one you were originally arrested for. You could withdraw your guilty plea to the lesser offense, but that just means the prosecutor will simply withdraw the watered down charge and charge you with whatever your original offense was.
