ESPN Insider thinks Orton top QB available - ArizonaSports.com
When it comes to grading the top quarterbacks available by either free agency or trade in the NFL, the Eagles' Kevin Kolb seems to be the most popular name. Not all share this assessment. ESPN Insider KC Joyner believes the Denver Broncos' signal-caller Kyle Orton, who is believed to be available via trade, is the best option for a team searching for a new quarterback.
