slats Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Dolphins interested in acquiring Kyle Orton Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on July 26, 2011, 8:48 AM EDT Getty Images So now we’re clear that the Broncos are making quarterback Kyle Orton very available. Who will be interested? In Arizona, Orton would make sense as a backup plan if the Cardinals can’t acquire Kevin Kolb. In Miami, Orton may be the first option. “The first Dolphins call [Tuesday] will be to Denver to survey the cost for Orton,” according to Dave Hyde of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. It’s a great fit. The Dolphins need a legitimate alternative to Chad Henne, and Orton fits the bill. His salary looks big for 2011 ($9M), but it could be negotiated down. The question is whether Miami is comfortable giving up a mid-round pick for Orton when someone like Vince Young may not cost any draft pick compensation. Hyde makes it sound like Young would be the next option on Miami’s wish list, but their biggest hope is that no one else competes hard for Orton. If Miami wants to make it happen, we think this a deal they should be able to close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Orton may be the safest option for any team looking for a QB, and he has a history with Brandon Marshall making him potentially even more appealing to the fish. If Miami really wants him, I hope there's a lot of interest in his services to keep his trading price and salary high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klecko73isGod Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Wow, Henne has fallen far and fast! 12 months ago there were articles about how he was the most promising young QB and was better than Sanchez and even JiF was riding his jock. Now they Dolphins can't move on fast enough and are talking trading for Orton or signing Vince freakin' Young? Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Or Brady Quinn. lulz. Quinn has never really gotten a fair shake anywhere. Orton makes the Dolphins a threat. Not a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I don't like this at all. Orton is a good QB. Steal for a mid rounder It's hard to believe that that Denver is going with Tebow as a starter. I like the guy as a wildcat kind of guy, but the Starter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steal for a mid rounder It's hard to believe that that Denver is going with Tebow as a starter. I like the guy as a wildcat kind of guy, but the Starter? Agreed. Orton has been quite underrated in his career. Dude has played in some really crappy offensive situations and yet a hell of a lot more often than not manages to rack up the wins. He's a massive upgrade from Henne, without question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other teams are interested in him so the Dolphins will likely pony up more than a mid-rounder. It's gonna take at least a third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmikeisback Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 It should cost them 2 2's or a 1 to get him. I doubt Denver is gonna give him away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jpf4671 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 This can't be true,..Henne is a franchise QB! Bill Parcells said so,.so did Mike Francessa and every Dolphin fan in NY!....hmmmmmmm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetstilldeath77 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Henne wishes he was the 3rd best QB in the AFC East, but alas, he knows he's only the 4th best QB in the East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way the fags get orton for less than a 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sanchez were to win four consecutive SBs Dolphins fans would still argue with you that Henne was better until they were literally blue in the face.

It wasn't John Fox who drafted Tebow in the 1st round. New regimes mean new QB's. Wouldn't be surprised if its Quinn or a potential FA signee who ends up behind center for the Broncos.

I would be surprised if Fox told the media that Tebow and Quinn are in competition for the starting job once Orton is traded! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The planet that understands that the Broncos painted themselves into the corner with that market.
