    The Cowboys have restructured the contract of backup quarterback Kyle Orton to free up enough space to officially sign free agent linebacker Justin Durant to a two-year deal, according to a source.

    Orton was a part of the Cowboys’ big free agent haul last off-season. Orton will be entering the second year of a three-year, $10.5 million contract that included a $5 million signing bonus.

    Kyle Wilber and Alex Albright are expected to compete for the Cowboys’ starting strong-side linebacker position along with Durant.
