According to the Associated Press, Kyle Orton has asked the Broncos to trade him in advance of Tuesday's deadline. We'll caution that this item was thrown into an AP article discussing the previously reported Brandon Lloyd and Eddie Royal trade requests. "So has QB Kyle Orton in a mini-stampede," writes the Associated Press. It's not the least bit surprising that Orton would ask out considering he was recently benched for Tim Tebow. With the Broncos, Orton wouldn't get that chance again without a Tebow injury, and possibly one to Brady Quinn, too.
