Nobody here would ever troll to get a reaction out of someone.

It's not my money, it's not yours. No, Orton's worth nowhere near $18 million next season, but who cares? He doesn't become a long-term cap problem that way and he can't bail for the best 5-year deal. If you get both Bowe and Carr signed long-term, you can then use the franchise tag to keep Orton here for a season. That may honestly be as long as we need him for. It's certainly unconventional, but with a shitload of cap space and the fact that we're probably not going to use even a fraction of it, why not slap the tag on Orton to make sure we still have a viable NFL starting QB next season when we get Charles back, continue to rebuild the O-line and the defense takes another step towards elite? It's especially attractive if we also draft a QB or make a legitimate long-term commitment to Stanzi. This team, with Bowe and Carr re-signed and Moeaki, Charles and Berry healthy again (not to mention Siler) can absolutely be a dark-horse to do some serious damage in the AFC next season. That or you can just slap the tag on Bowe and watch Matt Cassel blow another season apart for us. Don't look at this from an 'equity' standpoint - of course Orton's not worth that kind of coin. Look at it as what is the best for the Chiefs from both a short and long-term standpoint. Getting Bowe/Carr locked up long-term while ensuring Orton stays here short term is perfect for both the short term and long-term pictures.

As reeruned as it would be to franchise Orton, and I do agree you are getting to that point, it may be one of the only ways to dig us out of the hole we are in. I am not sure what the pay difference would be between keeping Cassel and franchising Orton. If it is anywhere close to the same then WTF? Take the better QB and go on.

Get real. No one is giving Orton that kind of money.

We literally just found this piece of shit off the trash, and now there are some (serious?) debates about franchising him? No. ****ing. thanks.
I don't think there is any chance in hell that Orton sees a contract north of $10M per, and that's being very liberal with the guesstimate. He'll be a 2 for 12 type of guy. Period. |

Why? It's not guaranteed. He'll opt for most up-front cash. And 6 would just about do it, I'm sure.
