The Rocky Mountain News reports agent Ralph Cindrich started talks Thursday with the Chicago Bears about his client, Denver Broncos QB Brian Griese. The Broncos would have to free up $9.26 million in cap room to absorb the immediate hit they would take if they were to trade Griese. "They can't afford it (right now)," he said, "but if you talk with them, they think maybe they can if all things work out for them, if they get a nice draft choice."
