This is significant in that the Dallas Cowboys thought that Orton was going to do what he’s going to do in Buffalo for them — which he’s clearly not. Orton was on the fence all offseason long about possibly retiring from football but he’s very much not done with the game yet. Orton won’t be starting in Buffalo but he’ll be able to provide something that no other quarterback on the roster will — veteran presence and guidance for E.J. Manuel.
