Kyle Orton's status as the Denver Broncos' starting quarterback is safe despite the arrival of Brady Quinn via a trade from the Cleveland Browns, according to the Denver Post.

With a $2.62 million restricted tender, Orton is potentially a lot less expensive than Quinn, too.

If Quinn takes 70 percent of the snaps, he'll reportedly be paid a one-time, $5.9 million million escalator.

Per the report, Quinn's presence could be a bad development for reserve quarterbacks Chris Simms or Tom Brandstater.

Orton has bristled about his restricted status.
