Kyle Orton

If the Fins DON'T land Orton, just like when we didn't land Harbaugh as our coach......we will probably give Henne an extension and hold a press conference to tell everyone he was our QB from all along.

1) Denver can't afford him. Doesn't matter what Orton wants, Orton will be gone by Friday at the latest. Probably tonight or tommorow though. They gotta cut him if they don't trade him

Not looking real good for your prediction.

What every Dolphins fan (or at least the ones who want Orton) should be praying for right now is that Timmy Tebow has a great day of practice today, because as awful as Tebow looked on day one of Denver's training camp yesterday, the Broncos brass has to be thinking "do we really want to get rid of Orton?"

^^ I think that ship has already sailed. My gut is telling me that Orton is staying in Denver this year.

This is why I was really hoping for Ryan Mallet...

Of the two I think a trade for Orton is more likely than BB trading Mallet to the Dolphins this year.  But you can keep hoping.

Touche....I probably should have said that I was hoping that Miami would have DRAFTED Ryan Mallet...

I'm pretty sure he knew what you meant.

Looks to be over now, the Fins signed Matt Moore to a 2 year deal

I wouldn't be so sure. I still think the Dolphins will be quite interested to see what happens on the 4th. Right now the Broncos are over the cap with Orton on their roster. By the 4th they have to be under the cap. Something has got to give. Either they get Orton or someone esle to sign a new contract or they got to release someone.

I don't this this has anything at all to do with the ability or desire to trade for Orton. One is clearly looked at as a potential starter. I think Moore was signed because we have to sign QBs. Remember, Henne & Devlin are the only ones we had prior to signing Moore. Devlin is definitely a prospect guy, so we really need four QBs at the start of camp I feel. Henne will be on the team as a starter or backup. If we get Orton he is the likely starter. If we don;t get Orton, I'd still expect one more QB to be brought in for a shot either to compete for the starters spot or a backup role to Henne depending on who it might be.

That leaves Moore & Devlin fighting to be the third QB on the team.

Remember, Henne & Devlin are the only ones we had prior to signing Moore.

We did sign Barnburner or Firestarter or whatever the heck his name is back in early January.

It sounds like I didn't miss much on that signing.

Kyle Orton/Matt Moore could be the new Chad Pennington/Josh McCown

[dolfan13]

possibly...

there is some provision in this new cba that let's teams clear dead cap space for this year only. for the dunkos, this works out because they had a lot of dead money on the books. their cap number is now like $126 million... they are not targeting any other top dollar free agents, so they may just be able to fit orton in under their cap.
