Did Kyle Orton hint at retirement and balk his way out of Dallas because of a sour relationship with Cowboys star quarterback, Tony Romo.
According to Ed Werder, Kyle Orton reportedly had several issues with the organization that caused him to want out of Dallas, including his feelings for one Tony Romo.

I'm not suggesting Tony Romo was at fault for any issues with Kyle Orton, who didn't get along with Tim Tebow either. Relationship a factor

One reason was that Orton and quarterback Tony Romo didn’t have a good relationship. The other reason cited in the report is that Orton grew tired of an alleged power struggle involving the offense.
Werder did point out that Orton had a rocky relationship with Tim Tebow in Denver as well.
Orton is now the Buffalo Bills starting quarterback after replacing the benched EJ Manuel in the starting lineup.
Orton got away with $3.4 million of his bonus from the Cowboys, and another $5 million from the Bills who obviously believe Orton can still be a productive player in the NFL.
