Another Waived Player Thread

I've heard that, given enough Jack Daniels, he might play DT.

[rayzor]

he'll be playing QB for the colts this week.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

I'm guessing they wish they would have traded him when they had the chance.

[rayzor]

i want to laugh at the broncos but 2 wins vs. 5 keeps me from it.

Fox boy screwed the pooch in not trading him. Could have easily pulled off a Kolb deal.

Ah well, tough break nigga.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Colts picking him up, winning a few games and gift wrapping us the #1 pick would be nice.

[chknwing]

doesnt matter who plays qb for the colts, all they have to do is hand the ball off to their RB and they win.

Rico, you might be the first and only person who has ever referred to Fox with the above term, lol.

I kind of mentioned it in the NFL forum thread but Elway really comes off as a bumbling idiot.

They drove up the price on him in a trade, got something close to what they wanted from Miami, then backed out of the trade b/c they were scared thy couldn't win without him. He sucks, gets benched, The Golden Calf of Bristol comes in and wins, then they waive Orton without any compensation.

Also, Elway just said he's not convinced The Golden Calf of Bristol is the QB of the future ever after The Golden Calf of Bristol has won them 4 out of 5 (and the whole team sucked in the one loss), then he releases Orton?

Just another great player who will never have any idea on what he's doing in personnel matters, he should just go back to chewing corn through a chain link fence.

in 2 years the broncos will be looking for a new HC and a new QB.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

One thing to note is that if the Colts want him, he's theirs. They're first in the waiver wire.

[TylerDurden]

I don't see the Colts doing it... If they weren't interested in Garrard before his back injury was an issue, I doubt they'll give him a look.

[rayzor]

if the colts don't take them it's going to be pretty obvious what their goals are this season...unless peyton's and collins' contracts really did screw them over to the point they can't even afford orton's 1.2mil salary.

what would be really interesting to see is if he goes back to the bears.

i think they and most execs knew his back was an issue. plus he was going to be commanding a lot more money than they had available thanks to all the money they threw at peyton and collins.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

1.2M is barely anything in the NFL. Even if they are pressed right to the cap it's easy to restructure someone and push their cap hit to future seasons. If they don't pick him up it won't be because of the contract.
