According to Mike Klis of the Denver Post, the Broncos would have accepted a seventh-round pick in return for Kyle Orton at the trade deadline. It's hardly a surprise that no team stepped up to take on the roughly $5 million left on Orton's 2011 salary. He would have been tasked with learning a new offense, minimizing his impact on any team the rest of the way. An impending free agent, Orton will not be back in Denver in 2012.
