Quarterback Brian Griese (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/4322/) will be granted his release from the Chicago Bears (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/chi/) Monday if the Bears are unsuccessful in efforts to trade the veteran.
Griese is due a $300,000 roster bonus Tuesday, and the only other option would be to pay it and hold out hope a team comes calling so the Bears could, in essence, buy a late-round draft pick for the amount of the check they have to write him.
That, however, would produce a great deal of ill will between him and the team and would not go over well with veterans in the locker room and around the league

This IMO would be a great pick-up for the bills. He is a proven veteran and could mentor edwards and we could then trade Losman and not worry abouta backup
