Ok well that's quite a spread. I thought he was due more than that. If that's right then I think he is due around $16 mil for the next 2 years. I think you could get Orton signed for 2 years at $16 mil. Then if he proves himself he either becomes great trade bait, possibly, or at the least has earned the right to a bigger contract with us or someone else if we move on.
The dude does have to basically "re-earn" his stripes as a starter and I don't see anyone signing him to a long term contract as a starter.
