Will the Texans Sign Another QB?

Looks like another vet QB could be added if the Texans are interested in a different former Bronco...

Brian Griese is expected to be cut by Tampa Bay later this week, two sources told FOXSports.com. Details of the release are being finalized, one of the sources said. ...

There have been other times Griese was available and Kubiak had no interest in him at those times. I thought it interesting then. I get the feeling that Kubiak had not wanted to rekindle that relationship.

IIRC Griese had trouble handling the post Elway expectations, seems he had a drinking problem, and Shanahan/Kubiak cut ties with him and never looked back.

Some part of that story was never told.

Yeah, I think you have a valid point, but I'm not sure the Smith/Kubiak combo had a real shot at Griese before now without making a trade, as the Bucs did with the Bears.

Previously, they sold the farm to acquire Schaub and already had a pre-Rosencopter Rosenfels under contract from the time when David Carr still wore #8.

The Broncos cut Griese in favor of Jake Plummer like six years ago. They are obviously committed to Schaub and hopeful with Dan Orlovsky, so I can imagine they aren't falling over themselves to go after an aging vet. But should they fear an injury, I just wonder how handy the phone numbers are for Plummer and now Griese.

And as Warren more astutely noted for me in an earlier post, someone still ought to be brought in before training camp to help keep arms fresh ...though maybe with the elimination of two-a-days this summer, this is less of a concern?
