    Broncos waive Kyle Orton

    Front page: http://www.nfl.com/

    That's a pretty bold move.... Pretty sure someone will claim him off waivers...

    With the emergence of Tim Tebow, Denver felt it wouldn't play Orton for the remainder of the season. Thus it decided to waive him now to see if another team would claim the $2.5 million remaining on his contract.

        How funny would it be if the Bears pick him up now that Cutler is out for the year.

          Denver and Miami were at a stalemate in getting him to play for the Dolphins before the season started. And just over halfway through the season he gets waived. Jeez.

                  Had the Broncos played Tebow from day 1, they would likely be in 1st place now in the West.

                    Bears going after Orton, funny how these things come around:

                    The Denver Broncos announced the release of quarterback Kyle Orton on Tuesday, and sources familiar with the situation said the Chicago Bears plan to put in a waiver claim for a potential reunion, adding the team is also interested in Josh McCown.

                      At 7-3, they're pretty far down the line, as far as waivers is concerned...

                      If I had to venture a guess, I'd pick Kansas City to take a chance on him.

                        I was so sure this was a "_______ was waived/released/asked for a trade, should we make an offer/claim?"

                        KC might need him.

                          Jets should make a claim... Indy could be a possibility.

                          Where do you guys see him going?
