Report: Cardinals, Broncos have talked Orton
Kyle Orton - QB - Denver Broncos
May 6, 2011 - 9:45 AM ET
Phoenix's 3TV News reports the Cardinals have had "preliminary contact" with the Broncos about Kyle Orton's availability.
Profootballtalk's Gregg Rosenthal has it on good authority that teams can discuss trades "generally" even if following through isn't yet allowed. Neither team is breaking the rules by engaging in hot-stove talk. The Broncos reportedly believe the Cardinals' interest in Orton is strictly as a "Plan B" in case a deal can't be worked out for Kevin Kolb. It's refreshing to hear Arizona's fallback plan is more than just a wink-and-nod understanding with Marc Bulger.
