Wouldn't it be crazie if the bears get Ortan?
- Thread starter macczilla
- Start date
we have a winner!
Kyle Orton is heading to Kansas City.
Orton, the quarterback who was waived by the Broncos on Tuesday, was picked up by the Chiefs today, according to multiple reports. With Matt Cassel out for the season, Orton shouldn’t need much time to move ahead of Tyler Palko on the depth chart and become the starter in Kansas City.
The development is bad news for the Bears, who reportedly wanted to bring Orton in after Jay Cutler suffered a broken thumb. The Bears will now go with Caleb Hanie until Cutler is healthy.
We don’t yet know how many teams put in claims for Orton. It could make sense for teams competing with the Bears for a wild-card berth — like the Lions, Falcons, Cowboys and Giants — to put in a claim on Orton just to block him from going to the Bears. But that’s now a moot point: The team that took Orton is a team that desperately needs to improve at the quarterback position in a hurry.
Despite reports that Orton didn’t want to go to the Chiefs, he won’t have much choice: The Chiefs own his rights. Now we’ll see whether he can get things going in Kansas City in time to help them compete for the AFC West — including a big game in Denver in Week 17.

Bears land backup QB McCown
Posted: 11/23/2011 3:27:00 PM
The Bears on Wednesday agreed to terms with backup quarterback Josh McCown on a one-year contract.
McCown, who played for Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz with the Lions in 2006, will serve as the team’s No. 2 quarterback behind Caleb Hanie, who has replaced injured starter Jay Cutler.
McCown, 32, has played eight NFL seasons with the Cardinals (2002-05), Lions (2006), Raiders (2007) and Panthers (2009), completing 57.7 percent of his passes for 6,584 yards with 35 touchdowns, 40 interceptions and a 71.3 passer rating.
While he worked with Martz in Detroit in 2006, McCown did not throw a pass while appearing in two regular-season games with the Lions. His last regular season passes came on Sept. 13, 2009 when he completed 1 of 6 attempts for two yards for Carolina in a 38-10 loss to the Eagles.
