Ex-Bears QB Griese headed back to Tampa Bay

Football Betting Lines

03/03/2008 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Bears have reportedly eliminated one of their options at quarterback, sending Brian Griese to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a late-round draft choice.

According to the Chicago Tribune, the deal will save the Bears a $300,000 bonus due to Griese on Tuesday, as the Bucs will assume the quarterback's contract.

Griese, who spent the 2004 and 2005 seasons with Tampa Bay, completed 161- of-262 passes for 1,803 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2007, his second season with the Bears. The Michigan product was intercepted 12 times in his six starts, however, and never fully seized the starting job from embattled incumbent Rex Grossman.

In 10 NFL seasons with the Broncos, Dolphins, Bucs and Bears, Griese has thrown for 18,367 yards and 114 touchdowns while being picked off 92 times. He started 15 games for Denver in 2001, but hasn't started more than 10 games in a campaign since.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
