Kyle Orton is a free agent after this season. During McDaniels tenure in Denver, Orton enjoyed some success, enough to make you wonder if the Rams wouldn't be at least a little interested in him as a backup option for Bradford in 2012, IF McDaniels sticks around that long. Given the abuse Bradford has taken this season, and likely will take being protected by practice squad linemen, having a backup that could step in and start over the long haul might not be a bad idea either.Orton has gone from Jay Cutler's replacement to Tim Tebow's backup to the unemployment line.The Broncos released the 29-year-old veteran quarterback Tuesday, six weeks after benching him following a 1-4 start.I spoke with Kyle earlier today and thanked him for everything he did for the Broncos. He was a true professional throughout this season. I've got a great deal of respect for him as both a player and as a person," coach John Fox said in a statement.
Orton spent his first four seasons in Chicago before he was traded to the Broncos for Cutler.The Bears, according to ESPN, will claim Orton before the 4 p.m. waiver deadline, at which point they would assume the $2.5 million left on his contract in 2011. he wants to be a Chicago Bear and the Chicago Bears want Kyle Orton, according to two reports
The 29-year-old QB asked asked for and received a release from the Denver Broncos on Tuesday after he and his agent learned of Bears QB Jay Cutler's season-ending thumb injury, according to The Denver Post. According to ESPN's John Clayton, Orton is trying to get the word out that he may not report if he is claimed first by Kansas City, which has the opportunity to do so before Chicago. The waiver order is based on the inverse order of standings.
Bears QB Caleb Hanie is expected to make his first NFL start Sunday at Oakland. If Orton becomes a Bear, he would face Denver and QB Tim Tebow on Dec. 11.
Orton's slide hit bottom Oct. 9 when he went 6 for 13 for 34 yards in the first half against the Chargers and threw his seventh interception, tied for most in the league at the time.
