The Facts:
Orton today became the fourth of the team's restricted free agents to sign his tender.
Reported by the Denver Post
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
By signing the tender, Orton is fully under contract for 2010, with a salary of $2.621 million this coming season. Orton was paid $1.05 million in 2009, his first year in Denver. Orton enters training camp as the Broncos starting quarterback but he'll need to fend off a challenge from newcomer and former Brown Brady Quinn to retain the job. ... And in case you're keeping score at home: RB Chris Kuper was the first to sign his tender last month. Brandon Marshall signed his on Tuesday to allow the Broncos to trade him Wednesday morning to Miami. TE Tony Scheffler faxed his signed tender to the team Wednesday and will likely be traded soon.
