Broncos holding strong in the Orton to Miami negotiation

26

per John Clayton. Broncos want a 2 or 3. Miami is thinking 4 or 5. Sounds like there are a few Defensive Linemen whose names have been mentioned as players Denver covets, and then there's Kyles $8M+ number for this year. Lots of things holding this deal up. I don't buy that the 2 sids are waiting to see the Arizona deal completed before flipping the switch, but I do think that the 2 sides are pretty far apart today if this deal is gonna get done in the next day or two. It makes sense for all parties involved. And Kyle will happily restructure for a 3 or 4 year deal. I hope this gets done sooner than later though. The longer this is unresolved, the higher the chance that it doesn't get done. And that would kill all of the momentum this offseason's given me as a fan (just MO). If & when this deal is done I think a lot of Broncos fans will have a sigh of relief. Denver fans (I speak for those I know) are ready for this Orton thing to be done. It's not so much about Tebow, but about the feeling of calm. The team and fanbase need that a of calm at the QB position.
