Kyle Orton, Cowboys Agree To Three-Year Deal

So where exactly will the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback competition come from? Peyton Manning doesn't sound like an option. Jason Campbell signed with the Chicago Bears and Chad Henne is making free agent visits.

And then this: Kyle Orton just agreed to a three-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys.

Absent Manning, I thought Orton was the best fit on the Chiefs so this is not good news in my mind, especially when you consider Orton would likely have a better chance to start in Kansas City than Dallas (at least we think). He referred to the Chiefs as Matt Cassel's team at the end of the season so we should've seen this coming but Chiefs GM Scott Pioli said at the NFL Combine that KC wanted Orton back and Orton was open to coming back.

Orton wasn't spectacular for the Chiefs last season by any means but if you're going to have a quarterback competition I think it should be a legitimate competition. Absent Henne, I'm not sure there's a quarterback out there that could push Cassel (and even Henne is stretching it).

Brandon Carr is another former Chief who could soon be signing in Dallas.

This is what the Chiefs quarterback competition has come to: I'm hoping they don't "lose out" on Chad Henne.
