If Tampa releases him before camp starts, there's a mutual benefit to him coming here. This is where he wants to play. Tampa is only going to keep him if he outplays Luke McCown in pre-season (in which case, Griese would get the axe). But if he gets cut, with most backup and starter roles filled, I think he comes here. Collins, as you mention, is not a good bet at all to make this team, and having the veteran (but not that veteran) backup makes sense for us.
