How in the **** do you come to this conclusion?

Well if he wants to give up 2.6 m for 6 weeks

No shit. But, he doesn't have to report.

times almost up, we should know within the next hour who claimed him.

it wasnt the Texans, they just signed K Clemons.

Anyone that wants this retread on our team needs to have their head examined.

I was against it yesterday but today I've switched. If he doesn't want to be here I welcome the distraction that will help us lose and we'll get a comp pick for him.

I dont think we get the comp pick if he doesn't come.

We need a stopgap if we draft a rookie next year.

We also need someone to push Stanzi if he's going to be given a shot to start.

No we couldn't what?

Orton has a ton more experience than Palko or Stanzi. Duh.

Stay classy bitches /Matt Cassel

exactly and that isnt Cassel or Palko.

1) There is no evidence of this, whatsoever. For all we know, both he and Palko are sharing first team snaps in practice and they are just gonna give Palko a legit shot before moving on......legit meaning 2 or 3 games to show he can run an effective offense.

2) How? He doesnt know the playbook, the players, timing of the offense, the tendancies of the OL...nothing.

3) Would we still get the comp pick if he doesn't report?

4) who cares? Hanie isnt terrible (he isnt good, either) and its not like Orton would come in and be at full speed by the time we play them, anyway.

So does Thomas Jones. He's done a lot for the team.

When does the NFL announce whether he was claimed or cleared waivers?
