I think we should start to prepare ourselves with a Orton/Griese/FA or
Draftee combo at QB.  Rex is going to get some offers from teams like
the Falcons and Vikings.  Somebody will overpay for him.  They always
do and it won't be the Bears.

Now, if Rex decides to resign with the Beloved, then I expect Griese
to find himself on a cut list, should the Bears decide to make a
change.

Briggs, Berrian and likely Rex: gone.  I got a bad feeling and it
ain't that burrito I had for lunch.
