2012 NFL Free Agency: Kyle Orton Visiting Dallas Cowboys

Stay connected for news and updates

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, journeyman quarterback Kyle Orton will be visiting the Dallas Cowboys, who may be looking for a new backup quarterback behind Tony Romo since Jon Kitna is retiring:

Orton was released by the Denver Broncos after Tebow-mania took hold and then eventually made his way to the Kansas City. There, he led the Chiefs to two wins in their last three games, including a win over the Green Bay Packers, who were undefeated at the time.

The 30-year old QB would likely want a starting job, but a job is better than no job.

Romo has been banged up in each of the last two seasons and he missed 10 games in 2010. So if Orton took a backup job in Dallas, there's a chance he could make it on the field.
