He was a solid QB. Damn good backup
sign hoyer and a mid round draft pick flier? maybe mallett?
Hoyer
They never should have brought in Orton. All they had to do was let EJ ride out the year. If he improved over the course of the season, sign a vet, and see how EJ does in the off season. If he doesn't improve you need to move on. Now you have no Orton, you still don't know if EJ can develop, and you may need to draft a QB. They set themselves back a year.
You draft a QB round one you gotta give him 2 seasons unless he's Tebow bad.

Dude could collect a check for the next 3 years holding a clip board. Why retire and leave money on the table? Maybe his body can't hold up.
Wouldn't be shocked if they are a potential Bradford destination or willing to deal for a young prospect.
