NFL Rumors: With Tim Tebow In For the Broncos, What Will Become of Kyle Orton?

With Tim Tebow looking as if he will be the long-term option in Denver, what will become of veteran quarterback Kyle Orton who hasn't received much attention, but has had a great career?

Orton will be looking out of Denver if he is not going to be the starter, so with Andrew Luck staying in school, would he be a good fit in Carolina? 

Orton has had some decent numbers in his six years in the league.  

This season before being benched for Tebow, Orton threw for 3,653 yards and 20 touchdowns along with nine interceptions.

He was pressured often, which led to him not having such a great season.  He was sacked for a total of 34 times throughout the year, which is a ridiculous number. 

Orton would make a great quarterback for someone, especially in the spread offense.  For his sake I hope he is picked up by someone and not left rotting on the bench in Denver.

The No. 1 candidate for Orton would have to be Carolina.  Carolina is looking to find a quarterback who can lead their team for a number of years.  Orton has many years left in his career and would be a great fit in that offense.

Another possibility for him is going to San Fransisco or Cleveland.  Both of these teams have new coaches and will be looking for a quarterback who will lead them to the Superbowl in the future.  

Wherever Orton ends up, he will be a key contributor for that team, who can provide accurate throws and has a lot of playing experience.
