The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Orton's decision whether to retire has been hanging over the Cowboys all offseason. This week, the story should come to a head. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reports that the Cowboys are confident that Orton will show up because they will go after part of his signing bonus if he doesn't show up.

Diehards Line: According to the report, Orton privately continues to weigh his options. If Orton sits out the season, Brandon Weeden will be Dallas' primary backup quarterback. Orton could be forced to cough up $3 million, but it's rare to see a player essentially pay for the right not to play. Meanwhile, there's also a question in Dallas raised recently regarding whether Orton and starter Tony Romo get along. Romo was asked recently whether he wanted to see more commitment out of Orton. "Yeah, um, I don't have any comment on that," Romo said.
