Dallas Cowboys WR Miles Austin and QB Kyle Orton could be salary cap casualties. While the team may be able to restructure Orton's deal if he still wants to remain with the team, ESPN.com's Todd Archer believes the writing has been on the wall for a while regarding Austin's departure.

Dallas Cowboys QB Kyle Orton knows his interception by Philadelphia Eagles CB Brandon Boykin cost the team a victory and resulted in a 24-22 loss on Sunday, Dec. 29, and he addressed that with the media. "I just threw a bad pass," Orton said. "Miles (Austin) ran a great route, same play we scored on the play before, just went to Miles this time and just threw it behind him and the guy made a nice catch on the ball."

Cowboys | Tony Romo to miss rest of season

Mon, 23 Dec 2013 13:27:15 -0800

Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back) has been ruled out for the season because of his back injury.

Fantasy Tip: Kyle Orton will start at quarterback with Romo out. Orton could be a starting option for desperate owners but there are probably better options available. The Cowboys wide receivers and tight ends should be downgraded because of the change.

"We would love to have a third quarterback to develop, but roster spots are competitive in this league."

Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back) said he will be ready for training camp in July after having minor surgery to remove a cyst on his back that will keep him out of organized team activities for the next three weeks. "If this was the regular season and I had to play next week, I could," Romo said. "This is just about being smart. That's why I did it now. This will have no effect on training camp. No way will it have an impact. And I still think there's a good chance I'm on the field for minicamp." The team does not fear that this will be a long-term injury, but they'll be cautious with him. Romo said the cyst was causing a constant ache in his back. QB Kyle Orton will work with the first-team offense with Romo out.

Fantasy Tip: Romo will miss valuable time during OTAs gaining chemistry with his receivers and tight ends, but he'll have plenty of time to regain that during the team's June minicamp and training camp in July. This shouldn't affect Romo's draft stock at all as a midrange No. 1 QB.

The Dallas Cowboys are happy with their quarterback pair of Tony Romo and backup Kyle Orton. The team is not expected to add a third-string quarterback or even look at the position during the free-agent market. Developing a long-term starting option at the quarterback position isn't a need right now so it likely will not take on a sense of urgency until future seasons.

Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo could serve as the holder on field goal attempts in Week 6, according to head coach Jason Garrett. Ps Chris Jones (knee) and Brian Moorman (groin), whose status for the game is uncertain because of injuries, would normally handle the holding duties.

I've got all the range of motion back and all of those things." The team hasn't given an indication that they will re-sign QB Kyle Orton to compete with Cassel in training camp.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Kyle Orton led the team to a win in Week 15 over the previously unbeaten Green Bay Packers, making the organization's decision on what to do at the position that much more difficult. "If we win these next two games with him, and he continues to play the way he did today, then you might have to say that (Orton is the future)," interim head coach Romeo Crennel said Sunday, Dec. 18. Orton is a free agent after this season and QB Matt Cassel would be heading into the fourth season of a $63 million contract. The team could also sign someone from outside the organization, or draft a high-profile QB, but Orton is trying to make the decision a little more difficult.
