The Facts:
Multiple NFL sources say the Broncos let it be known this offseason that Orton was available. Perhaps that time has passed. A Broncos source said Orton is not on the trading block.
Reported by the Denver Post
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Based on the Broncos' first offseason practice that was open to the media Monday, Post staffer Mike Klis reports that any deal involving Orton would be a trade involving their best quarterback. Brady Quinn, who was acquired from the Cleveland Browns in March, is just getting acclimated to his new teammates and new offense. Rookie Tim Tebow took very few snaps as he continues to work on his mechanics and studying the playbook. ...Orton, meanwhile, carried himself with the type of relaxed, poised demeanor common among established QBs. Does that mean the pecking order is etched in stone? With HC Josh McDaniels you never know. ... It's certainly an issue we'll be watching.
