The Facts:
Both the NFL Network and ESPN's Adam Schefter are reporting that the Cowboys have signed Orton to a three-year contract.

As
previously noted, with Jon Kitna retiring, the Cowboys had a major need for a veteran backup to Tony Romo. And the signing makes even more sense when you remember the Cowboys put in a claim for Orton after the Broncos cut him last season. However, the Kansas City Chiefs were awarded his services because they were higher on the waiver wire list. Orton, 29, played four seasons in Chicago before joining Denver for the previous three campaigns. He played four games with the Chiefs after the Broncos cut him, throwing one touchdown and two interceptions.
