The Facts:
Kyle Orton — the Broncos’ starting QB if the season began today — has been mentioned as possible trade bait with the quarterback-desperate Arizona Cardinals. He worked out Thursday with Cards star receiver Larry Fitzgerald in Minnesota.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Broncos’ receiver Eric Decker, who starred at the University of Minnesota, also joined Fitzgerald’s famous workouts Thursday. Fitzgerald tweeted proof a photo of the workout, saying “Me, Kyle Orton, (Decker) and Kyle’s father after today’s training here Minnesota. ...” While the immediate and obvious speculation will be that Fitzgerald is trying to send signals that Orton is the guy he'd like to have under center in Arizona this year, all indications still point to the Cardinals making a play for Kevin Kolb once the lockout ends. Orton, however, will clearly be a fallback plan.
