Bucs Report
Griese Not Part Of Favre Talks


There has been a lot of speculation Bucs QB Brian Griese could be part of a trade deal to acquire Brett Favre, but that appears to be just a rumor.

Ralph Cindrich, Griese’s agent, said he has received no indication that Tampa Bay has used his client as trade bait to Green Bay.

“I had a conversation with Bruce and our conversation is confidential,” Cindrich said. “I’m not at liberty to disclose it. He [Allen] is in New York ... As far as I’m concerned, Brian Griese is a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and I don’t see that changing.”

Many started to speculate Griese could be shipped out of Tampa after he missed Monday afternoon’s practice, but the quarterback said he was given that time off. Bucs Coach Jon Gruden routinely gives veteran players the afternoon off and Griese’s respite was yesterday.

In addition, Bucs linebacker Ryan Nece’s name had been discussed, too. Nece said he heard the rumor, but has not been told that from Bucs team officials or his agent.

Brett Favre will make a fine backup to Brian Griese. We welcome Brett to the Bucs.
