Clearing the air on Orton’s contract

Posted by Mike Florio on November 23, 2011, 8:35 PM EST

After the Broncos abruptly cut quarterback Kyle Orton on Tuesday, numerous reports emerged that Orton has a remaining salary of $2.5 million, which translates to a full-season base salary of $7 million in 2011.

But that number simply isn’t accurate.

Per NFLPA records, as confirmed by a league source, Orton’s base salary for 2011 was $4.5 million. With 11 checks paid and six to go, Orton is due to earn an additional $1.588 million.

Orton also received a roster bonus from the Broncos of $1.5 million after the lockout ended.

Since the Chiefs claimed Orton’s contract via waivers, the Broncos won’t have to pay him another dime. For the Chiefs, who as of Sunday had $27.4 million in cap space, $1.588 million represents a small price to pay for an upgrade over Tyler Palko. Then, if/when Orton leaves via free agency in March 2012, the Chiefs could end up with a compensatory draft pick in 2013.

Some have dismissed that motivation, pointing out that the convoluted formula for determining compensatory picks would translate to a mere sixth-round selection.

You know, like Tom Brady was.

KingNeckBeard has been around for awhile. It's not my creation.

It's a solid signing. He is by far the best option we have at the time we need a QB with starting experience, and could be a great competitor for whoever we draft next year.

So, 1.6 million essentially to have a better chance to win the last five games and get a sixth round pick.

Not bad, IMO.

"whoever we draft next year" hahahaha

Orton is going to do just enough to get an extension, and we'll see the great battle of subpar QB's in camp next year when Cassel and Orton duel.

Did we really get rid of Carl Peterson?

Orton is a fine backup QB almost as good as Rex Grossman.

Your username is strange, Mr. wobet selur. It's almost as though there is a secret code involved, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

This and repost.

Dang if I spelled it backwards...doggonit I'm a Chiefs fan what would it spell. I cant figure it out.:doh!:

Brain Fart,
I spent the day prepping 60 turkeys for thanksgiving. My brain is frazzled.

Thanks

You guys needed a starter and you got one. From what I heard Palko looked about worthless. This is a horrible situation to throw Stanzi into. Orton can run an NFL Offense. He's not a playmaker, or a game changer, but he is a competent QB. He can make all the throws. I know one thing though. You'd better be able to pass protect or VonDoom is going to light his ass up at the end of the season.

Let the 500th post in this thread be one of tears.

This team is ****ed.

I love that gif. I wish Orton all the best, except when he is playing against my Broncos.

Thats funny because Palko was no worse than Cassel lol

I'm not upset nor surprised by the move but I only consider it to be a marginal upgrade over what we already have. Orton will probably throw the ball downfield more. I'll bet 82's FFL stock just went up.

You just know the second he heard the Chiefs claimed him he thought about the game in Denver :)

Yep.

Hey, we always welcome new Chiefs fans and members to CP. Welcome, you n00b sonofabitch you.

Meanwhile...preclude? Of course not. Suggest gross irresponsibility? Of course. Welcome to the 90's...ha ha ha...Mr. Baanks.

This organization is a joke.

Kyle Orton will lead us to the promised land.

ROFL

Were that to occur, there would be a whole lot of those little blue-faced smilies with the little round mouths and the little long, blue chins on this board.

As a Raider fan, I`ve always thought Orton was a good QB and this is an upgrade for KC. I`ll sleep OK tonight because even Jamarcus Russell beat KO......

We should trade Orton to Chicago for Urlacher.

Great that is all need is more smurfs trolling around here...

GO AWAY MATT!

Which one of you will be saying you are thankful for Kyle Orton today when you say the Blessing?

Oh, don't be Mr. Dramatic Cow, Mr. Direckshun.

Everything's going to be OK. We're going to spend that compensatory pick on the Greatest Football Player Of All Times.

lolololololol

Don't you have to be down at the homeless shelter in time for lunch, Mr. R8ers?

FAX

Headed there now, just woke up from under this bridge :thumb:

Happy Thanksgiving Mr. Fax

Same to you, Mr. R8ers.

We have a lot to be grateful for.

FAX

hopefully, not just Orton........

I am thankful the Faid are still stupid even without Cryptkeeper and gave up a bunch of high picks for a broke dick.

well here we goooo ......

I'm sure this has been brought up about a thousand times but does anyone have any idea of when Orton will get his first game?

After the first quarter Sunday when the fans start chanting Orton

I know, Orton is da shits man.

Sweet, thanks.

Yep. But next year they'll be chanting the name of the stud QB we draft in the first. Who do you think you guys are going to draft first round next year?

Way too soon this weekend. But when the Steelers jump all over Palko, wouldn't be surprised if the Chiefs started to get him reps.

Kinda what I was thinking

Cheaps are too Cheap to draft a QB in the 1st round, maybe another bench warmer ... Get used to it, Ortons contract will be extended and he will be wearing the ketchup and mustard for 3 yrs

I want Hester and a first.

What a stupid argument. What does cheap have to do with it? The rookie payscale takes care of that.

Orton is a good QB. Its a good pick up to continue to make a run.

You will trade down then to get more 5th rounders

The best thing is the new contract raises the minimum spent on player salaries and Clark can't cheap ass his way out anymore

He will figure out a way to save 30 more million because the fans are happy

Since he helped write the new spending rules, I wouldn't doubt that a bit

No no, it's the RAIDERS who trade away their 1st round picks for shitty players. You're confused.

Raiders put shit on the field and had lost of empty seats, now they are selling out on a more consistent basis because they are spending all the money available trying to win.

Pete you missed your chance at a good thread by using this as a post.

I love how you ascribe some sort of nobility to foolishly spending money on a shitty team in an attempt to make it better. The Chiefs and the Raiders are both shitty. Who cares what the payroll is? If you spend $75,000 on a Mercedes that doesn't run, and I spend $14,000 on a Nissan that doesn't run, neither of us is getting where we're going.

The difference is (if I may further strain the metaphor), when I need to replace a part (resign a player) or finally get the engine fixed (draft a 1st round QB) I'll have the budget to do it. You'll be sittin pretty in a worthless car you can't afford.

Nice post. I don't understand why people can't see that this could effectively slam the door on Cassel, and actually make this organization draft a QB.
You really think Pioli is going to keep the guy that got replaced by Tebow (that he picked up off waivers) as our long term answer?

This will be fun come Jan 1 2012!
My son and I switch venues every year and this year we go to Denver to watch the Chiefs play his beloved Donks.
Just having Orton will make this freakin hilarious!

Standings Bitch!

Sure, he's an upgrade over castle... but its still stopgap city.

Next year cant get here quick enough.

Assuming he's not hurt by then. With our Oline and his lead feet..

Cassel was a stopgap too, even though that wasn't the Chiefs' intentions, we all knew he wasn't the answer. Orton is a better stopgap. They didn't claim him to be a reliever for the rest of the year or to be a backup. Cassel is done.

He traded for Matt Cassel, who he was more familiar with than anyone else in the league, to be his guy at QB for the Chiefs, so yes, I do believe that Pioli is more than capable of this kind of stupidity.

PBJ

Who invited the **** back into the lounge?

That's what I thought.

this is great news...

now we can trade orton and get another pick from chicago...

:shake:

You don't keep a stopgap in place three years. IMO this organization just picked up their latest retread who now is going to be handed the keys. What scares me is the possibility that its being made as a pre-emptive strike to bring in McDaniels and not draft a QB for next year. Think I'm being paranoid. Same ol' shit the Chiefs have always pull.

I don't know if this signals the end of the Haley era, and the begining of the McDumbass era, but I do believe that Orton will have a new contract before this season comes to an end.

I hope the thinking is that he is a better backup than Cassel.

nOPE Better backup than Falko

LOL

That dude looks exactly like ol' Neck Beard.
