Brandon Marshall really doesn't have the type of value around the league that his multiple pro bowls would suggest. If Denver traded him for picks, they would probably get a Braylon Edwards type package in return (a third and a fifth plus Jason Trusnick).

Quinn is probably worth that in a vacuum. Is he really that much better than Orton? Perhaps not, but if you saw the Broncos down the stretch, they were treating Orton (fairly or unfairly) like the Jets were treating Mark Sanchez. Only, you know, Orton is a five year veteran. He'll begin the backup portion of his career shortly.
