Re: Mike Lombardi Links Kyle Orton to the Redskins
I see some of you mention that if we wanted Orton, why didn't we put in a claim for him when he was released mid-season. Well, we did look into acquiring him BEFORE the season started so it was obvious we were interested. However, acquiring Orton mid-season would not have helped us last season. I would have rather stayed with Rex than have Orton come in the middle of the season and try to run the offense.

I would love to have Orton as a backup, but the reality is he isn't going to go anywhere that he doesn't have a shot at starting. Also, you aren't going to pay a backup 5-6 mil per year either which is the type of salary he'll command.
