The Bears are in the 30th waiver position for Kyle Orton this week.
The Texans have a higher spot because their 7-3 record has come against an easier schedule. Though Orton had made it known earlier in the year that he didn't want to leave the Denver area, the Denver Post notes that his agent started talks with the Broncos once Jay Cutler went down with a thumb injury. Chicago is the one team Orton does want to join. With just $1.324 million remaining on his salary, though, another team could step in front of the Bears -- if Chicago is even interested.
Let's face it Orton is not a prize possession or an answer for anyone's QB woes. The Skins will stick and stay with Grossman for this year - Miami is actually surprised with Moore and will hold right there in hopes for the 2012 draft....Arizona makes little sense since they are out of the picture and still believe Kolb is there guy (I know and you know he's not but as an investment they can't claim bust just yet)....KC would be an interesting fit for Kyle since they play in the AFC West and could still make a run but I think Stanzi gets a look to play out the year...The Bears feel confident in Hanne for now BUT with a weak sched. it makes sense to add him as insurance....
