Report: Kyle Orton told Cowboys he wants to retire

[Idgit]

Rappaport, and it's unsourced, but it's more concrete than we'd heard reported previously, anyway. Take it for what it's worth.

Thanks for the memories, and also the $3 million.

Isn't rappaport always full of it? I think that's the guy Bob Sturm called out.

That story makes no sense. He wants to quit but we're trying to talk him out of it? If he doesn't want to play, we shouldn't want him to.

And the stories have been that he was hoping we'd cut him so he wouldn't have to repay the $3 mil.

Rappaport is always lying.

After reading that report I can honestly say Orton is going to retire or come back.

I keep hearing 3M, but he received a 5M signing bonus and played 2 years. That should leave 1/3 of 5M that he has not earned or about 1.6M.

I really hope he is right. Cut Orton and sign someone else or use it towards extending a player who still wants to play the game.

He was restructured last yr so that added yrs to his deal. But they were avoid the deal after this yr but still held accountable for the remaining 2 yrs of 1 mil of his signing bonus that was restructured. Adding this yr thats 3 mil.

Sheesh man i m ready for this relationship to end

 

[JoeyBoy718]

That would be cool if we could free up some money to sign one more decent veteran.

 

[Big D]

Good. Make it happen.

So, Jerry Jones won this standoff.....

Now, I finally go to sleep since this is resolved.

Watch them bring back Kitna.

It's one thing to forgo his 3.25m salary for this year, quite another to actually pay back 3m on top of that. I see him showing when he absolutely has to and hoping Dallas cuts him. Getting the full 6.25m back against the cap would be real nice for the team.

 

[OhSnap]

Now I'm wondering how many beset qb's there are in the league and how to identify em.

 

[noshame]

This is called Jerry, get out the checkbook. He will.

 

[Fredd]

until there is something concrete on him retiring (or not), all I hear is the teacher from the cartoon peanuts "wuh, wah wuh, wuh-wuh-wuh....."
