Greg Orton Added

August 13th, 2011 - 4:52pm by Gray Caldwell

The Broncos on Saturday signed wide receiver Greg Orton, designating wide receiver Mark Dell as waived/injured to make room for the move.

He becomes the second Orton on the roster, joining Kyle — no relation, though both went to Purdue University.

Orton played four years for the Boilermakers and finished fifth in school history in career receptions — 203 — while ranking sixth in receiving yards with 2,356, tacking on 13 touchdowns. He played in all 50 possible games during his career.

    BFE, this is the Good Orton, haha.

  3. baylinorcrush says:

    It’s totally Ortonesque to have two Ortons on the roster, LOL.

  4. baylinorcrush says:

    Talk about the Orton connection….

  5. Atwater4HOF says:

    The most unexciting name in the NFL

  6. baylinorcrush says:

    Poor Greg!

  7. baylinorcrush says:

    The organization had to know this addition would be too easy for us to have fun with, LMAO!!!!!!

  8. BeastFromEast92 says:

    Yeah man Greg will have to be a ‘huge’ star to live up to that name,lol.

  9. BeastFromEast92 says:

    I know what it is,there will be a huge headline”Orton has been cut”.We will all think it is Kyle,only to find out it is Greg,you think EFX is FN with us???

  10. baylinorcrush says:

    Now that we have two Ortons, do you think Miami will go for it? I mean we can do two for the price of one.

    For the record I agree with you bay, wateva I hear in practice is meaningless as well. Good to see but like we all know, Orton is a practice play. In the redzone, heat was on him and he had to move out of the pocket sometimes, and could do NOTHING with it. He is only good with the don’t touch me Jersey on. I do like how people at DP try to rationalize why Orton sucked and give him props in practice. Same Media that said he was way ahead of Tebow and Quinn … Ha. Maybe by knowledge of the play book but execution, they all looked about the same in Dallas except Orton has reached his cieling and Tebow and possibly Quinn haven’t yet.

    They definitely need to work on tackling drill, I heard they did alot of work on tackling drill today. It killed us last year and this year if we don’t improve, it will kill us again. Rap em up. Champ needs to teach Rahim Moore how to tackle cuz his tackling on Thursday was autrocious.

    “Brady Quinn: Quinn took a couple of red zone snaps behind the first-team offensive line. One of his passes was deflected in a crowd of players in the end zone and then intercepted by Champ Bailey”

    Is Quinn possible getting ahead of Tebow with the first team OL action? hmmm. Altho I know Tebow also has some packages with first team. If anyone should get Redzone practice with first team OL should be Tebow, he is a Redzone ace in my book. I’ve always said, only way to have a fair competition is for them to have some snaps with the first team. TRB out..

    ps: funny thing is the article was called Orton lloyd connection still sharp … or something like that … yea in practice. Not in live action

  12. BeastFromEast92 says:

    LMAO@BAY…2 for 1 deal………………..freaking priceless bro!!!!

  13. randy2191 says:

  14. BeastFromEast92 says:

  15. BeastFromEast92 says:

  16. baylinorcrush says:

    BUY ONE…GET ONE FREE!!!

  17. shockaholic says:

    Im a shock season ticket holde and can tell you this guy is awsome. Never gives up and has amazing hands

  18. therock42 says:

    Seen this guy in action he is the truth. This is not that Orton! Welcome to Denver G.O.

  19. baylinorcrush says:

    You guys outta be kidding me, you must be family or something, I mean the guy was an undrafted 2009 Bengals pick and soon after that they released him so he spent the last two years in arena league, this is the NFL, just a reminder….

  20. weareamr says:

    good news:

    The NEW Orton just scored on nate jones.

    nate jones release day!

  21. AVnCA says:

    bay..

    Rod Smith undrafted, Kurt Warner Arena League.

    On another note.
    Forget the TD run by Johnson vs. Dallas I like the way he runs the ball. Explodes to the line running hard. He should end up 3 or 4 on the depth chart.

  22. baylinorcrush says:

    You like those odds I see.

    He is just a training camp body for the position since many WRs are hurting is all I see.

  23. baylinorcrush says:

    BTW, the three Greg Orton supporters just above I have to my recollection never seen before, makes me wonder if most of them are arena league fans who just got the news. Shockaholic would definitely be that since Greg Orton played for the Spokane Shock in the arena league, just thought I’d point that out for clarification purposes on the true value of someone like Greg Orton. Welcome to Bronco world arena fans.

  24. baylinorcrush says:

    And oh yeah, I would like nothing but to be proven wrong about Greg Orton, but not at the expense of Lloyd, Royal, Decker, Willis, Anderson and Riley, but if we carry 7WRs, maybe he’s got a shot fighting Goodwin for it, I’m obviously being a little funny here.

  25. jwnarl says:

    I am tired of the mean comments directed at Kyle and you make me embarrassed to be a Broncos fan. Your behavior is so far from classy it saddens me. I really thought we were better than this.

  26. baylinorcrush says:

    This was all in good fun, and Orton doesn’t like us anyway, LOL.

  27. broncosfan2420 says:

    Dang. I was really rooting for Mark Dell to make the team. I played against him in high school out here in Michigan and he was a freak. I wish the best of luck to him…I have a feeling he can be a solid player so hopefully we sign him to the practice squad or something…anyways GOOO BRONCOS!

  28. CarnageBronc says:

    What I have learned is that Orton does nothing but wron, and Tebow does nothing but right…as far as this board is concerned. Tebow is “playing as hard as he can” and no one else is. Tebow is “doing what it takes to win” and no one else is. Orton…got in the Redzone was pressured and “did nothing”. The fade route was a mistimed jump by Lloyd, and the other two plays NO ONE WAS OPEN, so he did what was necessary and threw it away preserving the points. Real game, we RUN from the ONE, this was like a glorified practice. Tebow didn’t lead the team on any TD drives. AND if you watched the film, the man who got held on the play had Tebow dead to rights on the caled back TD. I want to win NOW. Tebow does not give us the chance to do that. However popular he may be, let him run for office, not lead my team. I watched him against the Cowboys THIRD string because remember, a lot of their starters didn’t dress leading to second stringers starting and being replaced by third stringers. he did not look head and shoulders better than them. If Brady plays against your third string you get torched. heck even if CUTLER plays your third string you do. The kid is not NFL ready and I for one do not want the team I love to suffer just because he is popular.
