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.
No I think they mean the Broncos, because if his Agent started talks with the BEARS and the BEARS even picked up the phone there is a thing called Tampering and the BEARS would be in trouble!
I'm sure the agent contacted several teams through back channels and once he realized other teams were interested in bringing Orton in, he probably negotiated a deal with the Broncos for them to release him.
