BrooklynBills Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 They've already paid him his guaranteed money. He was essentially on a 1 yr deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 It looks like the player option is just to void the contract, not guarantee it. Orton has five days after the Super Bowl to void his 5.4 million dollar deal for next year. I highly doubt he will do that. We can cut him and not owe him much. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/kyle-orton/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 you are right I looked at the contract detail, Bills don't owe him anything cut him and get some real football players here(don't slide on 3rd and 1, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohiostyle Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Love to have him as a 2-3M backup, 5.4m as a backup or starter (given the return on investment) is unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipster19 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 @mikerodak: If the Bills cut Orton after the season, they will avoid paying $5.5M of the $7M. Would have $1.5M dead money figure. I don't think they like him. I think he will be cut. Jmo. I agree. I'd rather see the Bills really step up to the plate and get a quality QB, eve if it means that they have to spend another 15+ M to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
