I think that is called tampering and the NFL fines you for it
As I stated in the original post, the Broncos have given Griese permission to talk to other teams--so it's not tampering. I'll bet by the time he's cut he already has a contract waiting for him to sign; personally, I hope it's with us.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos have given quarterback Brian Griese permission to begin exploring trade talks with other National Football League teams, Broncos Head Coach Mike Shanahan announced Wednesday.
The Broncos made this move in sending a letter granting permission to Griese’s agent, Ralph Cindrich, and the team also informed the NFL that this permission has been given.
Coach Shanahan also announced that Griese had surgery to repair a labral tear and tighten the capsule in his left, non-throwing shoulder, on Jan. 29.
Griese is doing well in rehabilitation at the Denver Broncos facility and is expected to make a full recovery by the end of May.
