Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports the Broncos potential trade with the Dolphins fell through due to Kyle Orton's contract demands, not draft-pick compensation. This would explain the report that the Dolphins still want Orton. The 28-year-old has never had a shot at free agency, so it's hard to blame him for trying to cash in on a potential trade. This news takes the Broncos front office hook, though they're still left with an uncomfortable situation at quarterback. It's possible that Orton will lower his demands once it becomes clear that the Broncos want to go in a different direction.
