Kyle Orton Waived!!!!!

[Kadiddlehopper]

""Although he's a vested veteran with seven NFL seasons under his belt, Orton is subject to the waiver rules because he was released after the trade deadline. If another team claims him, it will be responsible for about $3 million in salary, which is what remains of his roughly $9 million contract for 2011. If nobody claims him, he'll be free to sign with anybody.""

I think the fanbase owes the Miami FO an apology for this one. You kill them on everything else, be nice for once :O.

The fans owe them an apology?

If we put in waiver claim wouldn't we get him?

 

[Adam First]

I'm putting money on that Chicago gets him back.

See, I tell you something is up. They cut a back door deal. Why would Denver release him for nothing, just because he asks for it?

looks like our front office knows what they are doing

MAat Moore is the future and our franchise qb.

I think if we do or don't put in a waiver claim says a lot about Ross's mindset. Obviously, Ireland and Daboll wanted him and now we can have him for salary. So if we don't make the move Ross is going another direction IMO.

By front office, you mean Ross. The FO wanted to trade for him. Ross shot it down.

I don't care where he goes as long as it's not to our phins!!!!!!!!!

Say what???

Where is all this talk of Matt Moore being our franchise QB ????? Sorry, but a couple of OK games against some pathetic teams and suddenly we've gone from pathetic washed up backup to savior in 3 weeks. :tumbleweed:

Hate to say it, but we are still in desperate need of a new coach, GM, QB, TE, OL, etc. etc. Just because a couple other teams turn in pathetic performances, doesn't make us better all of the sudden. We're not as pathetic as Indy, but we are not a .500 team yet.

Ireland: Should we pick up Orton?

Sparano: Depends. Does he block well?

 

[newlife2788]

I would take him after wavers. Get him asap. He could be a great backup and the team gets better with him back there.

SMH....

He is obviously going to either the Bears, or Houston. Lets not be dumb here people.
