The Facts:
Orlovsky says he's pretty confident free agency will be better for him than accepting a contract to be a backup quarterback for the Detroit Lions. "They made an offer, but I'm going to test the market and see what's out there for me," Orlovsky said Monday. "I'm pretty confident that I'm going to get a better offer."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Orlovsky hopes to be able to compete for a job instead of being relegated to reserve status. The Lions announced earlier this month that Daunte Culpepper renegotiated his contract for the 2009 season with the team. At that time, HC Jim Schwartz said the team was still discussing all options at QB, including the other four that played for them last season: Orlovsky, Jon Kitna, Drew Stanton and Drew Henson. Who did Detroit officials tell Orlovsky he would be backing up? "Daunte," Orlovsky said.
