Well now, I thought he was something of an option, maybe #4 on my list, now Orton is staying in Denver, Young signed with Philly, and Grossman signed in DC, and Bulger retired.
We are one step closer to Hennegedon, for good or bad, unless Matt Moore just dusts him in Training Camp.

My liver actually typed that...it has been begging me for yrs to be a Patriots fan...:lol:MikeHoncho likes this. -
Fail to see how a either a fragile, old Marc Bulger (poor man's Chad Pennington) or how a crappy, really crappy QB like Grossman was an option over Chad Henne.
At least Young had talent and Orton is a slight upgrade and still young. -
Hennegedon it!

mike lombardi was saying today on nfln that he wouldnt be surprised if the Kyle orton isnt brought in still

On another note, I'm good with moving forward with henne. I don't think henning was as big a problem as many others do, but I do think he was a problem. My thought its henne was just going through some major second year starter problems and could turn things around this year. Will he? Who knows. Either way I don't think its as bad as others seem to think it is sticking with him.

lol....Padre, the freakin guy retired...that shows you how pathetic his mindset was, and in some weird indirect way, your taking another shot..
The guy retired from christ sakes, is that who you would of wanted coming in..maybe thats why he wasn't signed, because his mind is toast.padre31 likes this. -
Does anyone here, especially the Henne haters, think that Orton is worth a 2nd round pick and one of our def line players..?
cause if you don't know what their asking for then why are you *****ing at this point for Orton not being here....Oh wait, you just want him for that 3rd round pick and thats it?...oh, ok..yeah Iam sure the broncos are ready to part with him for just a third..
Anyone ever think thats why Irish hasnt done the deal? because their asking for a 2nd and a player at this point?Alex13 likes this. -

Ive heard that Bulger wasnt coming back to play this season for quite awhile now....
Evidently, he'd done really well for himself investing the money he has made....and really had no desire to add to the physical toll the game was taking on him -

Hennegedon? I think more appropriate would be Sparanogedon or Irishgedon ...Whether Henne plays good bad or indifferent , that Miami "may" not have a viable upgrade option isn't at all his fault imo. -

My point DJake, is exactly what you said, don't harshly criticize until you know why, for sure, why Irish has not pulled the trigger, cause maybe that IS what there asking for..
I for one, if Iam in charge, I'am not giving that up for Orton, even though I think he's pretty good. -

We can't make magic happen , and no need to try if it depletes valuable assets that we will need next year .
I truly hope Henne has a solid season , if not I want as many pieces in place for next year that even a dead bilnd person can see what direction we will go , position wise . I want no excuses and no handcuffs in place by trading assets that can deliver that QB. Period. -

Hennegeddon. Suckforluckalypse. Charming. LOL.
As for this newfound "2nd and Randy Starks" thing...let's keep in mind that's just one report. I've also seen a report that swears all they really wanted was a 3rd round pick, and it didn't matter because the MAIN impetus to the deal was that Kyle Orton wanted a $9 million year stuck onto the end of his current deal to cover him through 2012 at the cost of $18 million.
According to Mike Klis, the Dolphins never even got beyond that point to decide with the Broncos on what exactly they would give up for Orton. The Dolphins came close to agreeing on a restructured deal with Orton last Tuesday night, but then got cold feet. -
As for Henne's training camp today, Omar giveth, Omar taketh away. He immediately renegged on his statement after seeing the 11-on-11 which he described as "brutal".

Marc Bulger is actually one of the few that I thought Henne could beat in an open competition.

The reality is, for all the talk of how the new CBA would help veterans, it really hasn't. Its just made younger players more attractive, because they are cheaper. There is no chance Orton gets $9M a year on the open market. -

We don't know what the trade compensation would have been because the Dolphins and Broncos didn't discuss it. It's just speculation. There's no "truth" to be discovered. The only "truths" to be discovered would be what the Broncos were willing to accept and what the Dolphins were willing to give, and I seriously doubt anyone knows Miami's end of that because they're an iron curtain when it comes to information flow.
If Kyle Orton wanted a $9 million year added to the end of his contract for 2012, I would have done it. That's me, personally. I wouldn't have let that be the deal breaker preventing me from moving from Step One to Step Two. -
Again, it goes back to what Rosenhaus predicted......players will be shying away from Miami, because of our coaching mess. It seems to have played out that way so far.
