Reader Q&A: Dan Pompei's Bears mailbag

If Kyle Orton can't get a starting job in free agency, do you think the Bears would offer him about $4-5 million a year to be Jay' Cutler's backup? Would you do that even if it meant the Bears would not be able to re-sign a player like Tim Jennings or Israel Idonije? -- Carl Masterson, Oak Park
