From PFT:

Report: Broncos want to trade Orton and do it fast

The Broncos’ front office has always maintained publicly that quarterback Kyle Orton will get a fair chance to compete for the starting job. In reality, the Broncos would love to trade Orton before training camp even starts.

Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports that the Broncos will place Orton on the trading block, and Orton’s time remaining as a Bronco may be down to hours, not days.

So despite all the talk about competition, Tim Tebow is almost certainly going to be the starter, with Brady Quinn as his backup.

The question for Orton is whether any team will want to trade for his contract, which pays him almost $9 million this year. Unless he’s ready to agree to a new deal, Orton may be a tough sell.

We have Stanzi. That wouldn't go well.

How about Tebow? We could use a new FB. I've never really been impressed with Mike Cox, and who the hell knows what Shane Bannan can do

"Cute" is thinking your team is at the same level of the rest of the division when they lost 4+ more games than their closest competitor in the race.

And that was with a last place schedule.

KnowMo, you were acting like Orton was a superstud last year.

Tebow would be a Hell of a FB. Deadly in a Wildcat offense too. No way would I want the Broncos to give you that kind of weapon.

not even close, the deal was structured to fall off in money toward the end.
4.75 this year (plus a 7.5 bonus)
he makes 5.25 million next year
7.5 the following year and 9 in the final year.

That means we will have another 7million to spend next year just due to contract structuring.

thanks for playing

I mean, it's cool and all, but I just don't get many people here who ask for this kind of thing.

Let me call a buddy down here who's an expert in overdrafted run-first QBs who switch to other positions. He can tell us more, and then maybe I can make a more educated offer.

Yes because that is a requirement to post on a football message board.

"Cute" is trying to run smack when you are a Chiefs fan. Unless you have been in a coma for the last 50 years, that is.

If someone posts something as if it's a fact and not an opinion they better have a source to back it up.

If you are going to require that people list sources for their opinions here there will be nothing left.
Rather than ask for sources you need are supposed to ridicule the opinion, personally attack the poster by questioning their lineage and offer the standard assortment of aids, fire, and antifreeze.

That's an idiot rule you just made up.

The Chiefs don't suck right now. The Broncos do. And you've got a little turd like Knowmo in your collective who asks for us to bring smack down upon your team.

Those are the facts

thanks for proving my point. Looks like you may have created a new sig line for yourself.

How do you know what I'd be certain of? Orton has been pretty good for you guys the last couple of years, much better than I expected. I love this move. Only time will tell much worse/better Tebow and Quinn are.
