I am excited about the last few days and I am looking forward to getting to kno my teammates with the Chiefs." ESPN's John Clayton reported early Wednesday that Orton might not report to K.C. because he wanted to be a Bear. Orton will probably be the Chiefs' starting QB by Week 13

He'll be thrilled to find out he's being made a TE to asist Barry Richardson

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.

SenselessChiefsFan · 11-23-2011, 08:48 PM

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.
