Kyle Orton Waived

[realtick]

I wonder who he ends up with...............Da Bears

 

[TheDude]

Have to make past waivers though...

Look for Minn or Detroit to add a QB (or KC)

 

[ajk23az]

Why would Minnesota add a QB?

 

[TheDude]

to keep him from a division rival. they would have 1st rights

 

[Stash]

I would expect either the Bears or Texans to claim him.

 

[Joe Realist]

well, they have to claim the contract as well.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Id love it if the Commanders would screw up here and sign him and give him a decent deal and keep themselves out of the rookie pool this offseason. That would thrill me to no end.

 

[InmanRoshi]

He probably really regrets de facto nixing that trade to the Dolphins because he wouldn't agree to a longterm extension.

He would be a) perfect bridge QB in 2012 or b) a good tradeable asset to flip in the spring.

Just don't play him. Have him sit and "learn the system"

 

[DFWJC]

Lots of potential landing spots:
Houston
Kansas City
Chicago
Miami
Washington
Minn?

 

[Yeagermeister]

Unless the rules changed with the new CBA he doesn't go to waivers. He is a free agent and can sign a new contract with any team.

 

[InmanRoshi]

Seattle. He's got to be better than Tavaris Jackson.

 

[Hostile]

Don't hate me for this, but I'd take him as a backup. I like the guy. Kitna is retiring at the end of this year and has a hurt back.

I'd give Kitna an injury settlement and bring Orton in as insurance.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

He'll be a Bear before the ink gets cold on his release IMO. The Bears can offer him a playoff capable team and a starting position. Nobody else can. If he were able to take the Bears deep into the playoffs, he would almost certainly make more money next year in FA. JMO

I like him too. I'd love to have him as a backup. I don't think he would take a job sitting behind Romo knowing he has absolutely no chance to even compete for a starting gig.

Yeah, I'd sign him.

I do, the guy is a professional and knows what his window is.

 

[visionary]

I think he'll be a good back up but what is his salary? I'm guessing a starter salary?
