Fred Jackson on Kyle Orton retiring: “I can’t say it’s a setback but I can’t say that it helps us."

How long is that guy signed for??

Kyle Orton has informed the Bills he's retiring.

Orton is reportedly serious this time, just a few short months after angling his way out of Dallas only to sign an $11M contract with the Bills. The 32-year-old started hot but faded in Buffalo, finishing 287-of-447 (64.2 percent) for 3,018 yards with 18 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. "I just have been going at it for 10 years and it's just a family decision and I've decided to get home and be a dad and call it a day," said Orton. So now the Bills are left with E.J. Manuel and Jeff Tuel as the only quarterbacks on their roster. They have no first-round draft pick as a result of the Sammy Watkins trade.

The Bears are firing everyone, now the OC is a goner.

yeah if that isn't a telling quote on the bills qb situation

Who else are the BILLS going to find to make that scramble slide four yards short of the first down when there's an open field?

Brandon Marshall had 106 targets in 13 games. That's the only reason you need to fire him.

FYI for those interested........

TM impressed with Nolan's coaching. Team coming together.
1 trade was nixed in late november, not enough on the table for the player involved.
Expect some moves before the deadline as well as at the deadline, FA's are not the only players that have garnered interest from other teams.

Management is well aware they are still in position to strike for a 1st or 2nd over all pick, offensive elite talent is definitely the often used catch phrase at FNC this past month.
Management not impressed with a couple of the youngsters, privately confiding a lack of progress in 2 or 3 of them.

Have a happy new year all.

Thanks TWG. Suprised by the last sentence. We seemed to only have had 2-3 call ups.

I'm going to assume since you didn't mention names you don't know who specifically, but I'm curious as to who they might be referring to.

- homiedclown

That is the day Orton actually announced his retirement. Rather than take the hit and get the important 1st down... He crumbles like a house of cards in a hurricane....

If the Bills are going to keep Marrone, bring Marc Trestman in to be the OC

I'll take the more interesting approach and say they're a little displeased with a few prospects (either their off ice stuff or overall development).

More likely that they aren't too thrilled about the goalies and coho.

What trade was nixed?

Gotta think Hodgson is at the top of the list followed by Pysyk and maybe Flynn.

If they don't move Hodgson, my guess is they'll buy him out over the summer.

I would go with that too. The way the Amerks have been playing , the labeled so called high talent players haven't shown anything worth getting excited about.
