Fox Sports' Alex Marvez is reporting that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are prepared to cut quarterback Brian Griese, and he speculates that the New England Patriots could be a landing spot for the 34-year-old veteran:

Griese was a college teammate of Tom Brady at Michigan and the Patriots are without an experienced backup after trading Matt Cassel to Kansas City earlier this offseason. Kevin O'Connell (a 2008 third-round pick), Matt Gutierrez and rookie free agent Brian Hoyer are the only quarterbacks on the team's roster. Rookie Julian Edelman, a Kent State quarterback selected in the seventh round, is listed as a wide receiver on the Patriots' web site.

Griese was Tampa Bay's starting quarterback to begin last season, but he was sidelined by an elbow injury after five games and did not return until December. The Bucs this offseason have signed free-agent quarterback Byron Leftwich and used a first-round draft pick on Kansas State quarterback Josh Freeman.
