QB Dan Orlovsky Signed, 3 yrs $9.15 Million

Updated terms have it as a three-year deal worth $8.5 million, though the Detroit Free Press says it is three years, $9.15 million and includes a $2.4 million signing bonus.

I like this signing better than Ramsey. People (like ESPN's Kuharsky) will latch onto the safety dance he did, but I thought Orlovsky had some promise with the Lions.

The Big O (6'5" 230) turns 26 in August.

From the Freep article linked above:

“I’m very excited, I’m stoked,” Orlovsky said in a phone interview. “Just to get the opportunity to come down here, walking into a really good situation, just a great organization, a team that I really feel is where it needs to be.

“I like the makeup of the team. I loved coach (Gary) Kubiak and the time I spent with him and (offensive coordinator) Kyle Shanahan; the moments and the time I got just to sit with them and talk football and talk everything. I’m really excited, and I think it’s a great opportunity to come learn from them and work and get pushed and learn from a really good starting quarterback.”

The article also says the Broncos were interested in Orlovsky.
