Joe Milton has been traded from the New England Patriots to the Dallas Cowboys in a move that sees him join Dak Prescott's roster as a backup quarterback. The Patriots, having set Drake Maye as their starting QB and signed Josh Dobbs, deemed Milton expendable after his only season appearance where he excelled against Buffalo. His size, at 6'5" and 246 pounds, and strong arm made him attractive to Dallas, especially with Cooper Rush departing to another team. Milton's trade provided New England with a fifth-round pick, indicating their strategic depth in quarterback options.
Patriots are sending quarterback Joe Milton and a seventh-round draft pick to the Cowboys in exchange for a fifth-round pick.
Milton went 22-for-29 for 241 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions in his only appearance of the season.
Milton's size and arm strength were likely appealing to the Cowboys, standing at 6-foot-5 and 246 pounds.
Completing over 75 percent of his passes in the season-finale performance shows Milton's potential for accuracy.
