The Chicago Bears are expected to release quarterback Brian Griese today if they are unable to trade him, according to Fan Nation. Griese, who is due a $300,000 roster bonus today, could be headed back to Tampa Bay, as they are the only team who have expressed interest in his services.

The Chicago Bears are shopping quarterback Brian Griese before his $300,000 roster bonus comes due next Tuesday, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. ``Brian is extremely disappointed that he will not have the opportunity to be free to talk with whomever he wants,’’ said his agent Ralph Cindrich. ``There’s not any question whatsoever that would be his preference. But that’s what they’re doing.’’ Sounds like general manager Jerry Angelo is trying to get someone to throw him a second day bone in the NFL draft. That would seem unlikely, given the fact the team will almost certainly release Griese prior to the roster bonus deadline. The organization has already stated that Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton will battle for the starting job, so Griese is the odd man out.
