Jason Cole, of the Miami Herald, reports the Miami Dolphins will visit with free agent QB Tommy Maddox (Steelers) Tuesday, March 21. Agent Vann McElroy said Maddox has also received interest from Oakland and Cincinnati, but the Dolphins situation may be the most intriguing because Mike Mularkey is now the offensive coordinator.


Bears | Team begins Griese visit
Sun, 19 Mar 2006 21:01:42 -0800

John Mullin and K.C. Johnson, of the Chicago Tribune, report the Chicago Bears began their visit with free agent QB Brian Griese (Buccaneers) Sunday, March 19. The visit is expected to continue into Monday, March 20. Griese has maintained he will be healthy by training camp as he recovers from last season's knee injury. The Bears are looking to sign a veteran quarterback likely to supplant QB Kyle Orton as the backup and for insurance should starting QB Rex Grossman suffer another injury. Griese's best option may be a one-year deal that allows him to demonstrate his recovery and possibly play his way into another long-term deal beginning in 2007.

John Mullin and K.C. Johnson, of the Chicago Tribune, report the Cincinnati Bengals visited with free agent QB Brian Griese (Buccaneers), but he left without a contract offer. However, a source said the Bengals intend to contact Ralph Cindrich, Griese's agent, Monday morning, March 20, indicating they're not conceding he will sign with the Chicago Bears.
