Why wasnt i born a Steeler or Packers fan???

Its all good then, guess he just doesn't need the money.

The CHiefs claiming him only helps Denver
Sure, make Elway look smart to keep him from Chicago

Yeah, it's just interesting hearing them talk about it. Discouraging on so many levels.

They could be like Keitzman. His take on the Mizzou/SEC thing was full of baby.

Teams to watch with waiver claims before Bears: Redskins, Dolphins, Chiefs. Any could decide to put in a waiver claim for Kyle Orton.

How does it help Denver? Unless Orton's "I will only play for the Bears" schtick works, SOMEONE will put a claim in for him regardless. Denver's going to get their $2.6M back.

So Denver is unaffected by the Chiefs claim. The only team hurt by it is Chicago, who happens to still be on our schedule this year.

Do the damn thing, Scott.

It's been widely reported that the Bears will put in a claim. Maybe it's smoke and mirrors, but I doubt it. I don't see a situation where Orton clears waivers. Denver played this smart and waited until 2 or 3 teams had QB injuries at the same time. They're going to get their money back.

Mile High Mania · 11-23-2011, 12:04 PM

I don't know why a team that is not seriously in the playoff hunt would make a claim... sure, you get a guy for 6 games and when you don't resign him, you get a comp pick next year. Big Deal.

I would think that any of the teams below would have an interest in a QB for the playoff stretch:
(11) Eagles; (12) Chargers; (16) Bills; (17) Jets; (20) Raider; (21) Bengals; (22) Cowboys; (23) Falcons; (24) Saints; (26) Ravens; (27) Steelers; (28) Patriots; (29) Lions; (30) Bears; (31) 49ers; and (32) Packers.

That's a lot of teams, but if I'm a team like the Falcons, Saints, Ravens, Steelers, Patriots, Lions, Bears, 49ers and Packers... would it really be silly to invest $2.5M in another QB insurance option at this point in the season?

Eagles, Chargers, Bills - they may not be going anywhere, but it wouldn't shock me to see them make a play... same for the Jets maybe too, and never ever think the Raiders aren't going to make a play.

I think Orton is underrated ... Cassel would never get his starting job back.

claim Orton
cut cassel(after IR)
develop Stanzi
grab QB in draft if a chance pops up

Denver could have traded him before the season to the Dolphins. They would have gotten a pick and saved the whole salary.

Oops.

John Clayton on ESPN made it sound kind of like Orton wanted to go to Chicago and might try to convince the Chiefs not to pick him up.
