I really want to tell you to go for it, but my hangup is that you have no real option at backup QB. If I'm getting Orton, I want another QB that can, at worst, be a matchup play in conjunction with Orton. Orton is a low-end QB2, and Dalton is WW fodder IMHO.

I think you get the better end of the deal, but I would only make it if I were confident that I could upgrade either Orton or Dalton with another trade. Otherwise you are perilously thin at QB.... because if DEN starts slow, how long will it be before Tebow and/or Quinn see the field?

Yeah, the Orton replacement is iffy, but..., I do see your point.

I'm with you on that same process, I am currently working on trying to put something together for Aaron Rodgers. See this guy's team below and let me know what I can offer for Rodger or a muli-player trade.

A. Rodgers
S. Greene
A. Peterson
R. Matthews
J. Ford
Julio Jones
Mike Williams
J. Finley
J. Feely
49ers
Cam Newton
Delone Carter
M. Hardesty
Alfonso Smith
Knox
Olsen
Lance Kendricks
Saints
Lance Moore
Demaryius Thomas

I think you are aiming too high with Rodgers.... you're going to have to pay through the nose for him. I would rather try and trade for a Schaub/Ryan/Stafford/Roethlisberger type of QB, where you don't have to sell the farm to get him.

[c0megets0me]

Its a fair trade but dont do it......it actually hurts your team, you dont have the depth to loose brees and you dont really need Fitz because you already have good wr's. I dont think there is enough difference between DMC and foster to justify this trade for you. Stay put!
