Kyle Orton Wanted Off the Dallas Cowboys Because He Didn't Care For Tony Romo

Kyle Orton managed to pull of a pretty nice magic trick when he managed to escape the Dallas Cowboys without having go retire and give up a good chunk of his bonus. It was hard to see why he wanted to leave. He wasn't starting, but he did get to play and was paid well. Unless he had his sights set on starting again it didn't make sense for a 31-year old to want to start over with another team.

But he did--and now we know why.

He grew tired of Tony Romo and the offensive power struggle:

Kyle Orton is new #Bills starting QB after forcing way out of #Dallas. Not good relationship with Tony Romo, hated offensive power struggle

This Sunday he gets to start of the Bills so not only is he getting paid by Jerry Jones still, but he's collecting a good paycheck from Buffalo, and he gets to play.

I said it before and I'll say it again: Kyle Orton is the smartest QB alive.
