Speaking Wednesday evening, Kyle Orton indicated that he fully intends to report to the Chiefs after they were awarded him on waivers.
"Just wanted everybody to hear it from me first," Orton said. "I am happy to be a part of the Kansas City Chiefs. ... I am excited about the last few days and I am looking forward to getting to know my teammates with the Chiefs." ESPN's John Clayton reported early Wednesday that Orton might not report to K.C. because he wanted to be a Bear. It appears "The Professor"'s report was inaccurate, which we've noticed is becoming a recurring theme for Clayton. Orton will probably be the Chiefs' starting quarterback by Week 13.
Good for him, the Chiefs and the league. Although the Broncos may have waived Orton to clear $2.5 million form the salary cap, it was still a very kind thing to do. Many teams were in need of a QB and this allowed Orton to become an active and hopefully intrigal part of the KC family.
