With Jason Campbell taking backup QB spot in Chicago, that leaves Kyle Orton's main option as the Dallas Cowboys.

Pretty sweet backup. Not sure why he's into it besides the wade Wilson connection. He can start for like the browns

If they were the same player, one wouldnt have significantly more plays on the football than the other

Elam in 6 years...373 tackles, 8 FF, 3 INT
Pool in 7 years...364 tackles, 3 FF, 13 INT

Pool has 3 passed defended last year, Elam had none.

Both suck.

Report: Veteran quarterback Kyle Orton to visit Cowboys

With Jon Kitna retiring, the Cowboys have apparently focused their attention on signing veteran quarterback Kyle Orton to backup Tony Romo.

With NFL free agency beginning on Tuesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter tweeted that Orton is "expected to visit Dallas."

The Cowboys put in a claim for Orton after the Denver Broncos cut him during the season, however, the Kansas City Chiefs were awarded his services because they were higher on the waiver wire list.

Orton, 29, played four seasons in Chicago before joining Denver for the previous three campaigns. He played four games with the Chiefs after the Broncos cut him, throwing one touchdown and two interceptions.

After the Bears signed Jason Campbell to be their backup quarterback Tuesday, Schefter tweeted that the Cowboys are likely Orton's "main option."

Pretty sure Poole was a FA last year. If we knew he was better than Elam, why didn't we sign him then? It's not like he got much money.

Poole has 4 times as many picks and a ton more passes defensed in his career

He also had back to back seasons with double digit passes defensed in 2009 and 2010

I found nothing interesting with this team today.

Visits and dinners don't thrill me. Sign the fuckers already.

No, instead let the other teams sign the first player at the position you're interested in and they set the market.

Don't expect Carr to come cheap now.

Your gonna fit in nicely here with the others who apparently dont pay attention.

The article said the Cowboys wanted to sign Poole last yr, but Poole CHOSE to stay with the Jets

He signed a one year-deal for the freaking vet minimum. We didn't want him very damn bad.

If we'd offered him any more than that he'd have "wanted" to come here. Or anywhere else.

They probably offered him the same thing they offered Elam, and he didnt take it. They said he CHOSE to stay with the Jets, where he had just signed the year before.

I don't pay attention here because it's the internet. I don't give a fuck. I don't need to impress no one.

Just sayin'

Pool got $1.3M from the Jets. The Cowboys paid $2.5M for Elam.

Again, we are arguing over 2 scrubs.

There is no quote from Orrin, that is just shefters opinions.
