Joe Milton, the sophomore quarterback, was caught off guard by his trade from the New England Patriots to the Dallas Cowboys in April 2024. After a tough season, where he was a No. 3 quarterback on the roster and remained inactive, he finally made an impactful debut in Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills. Milton's performance led to a 23-16 victory for the Patriots, showcasing his potential. Despite limited playtime, rumors of trade persisted throughout the offseason, culminating in his move to Dallas after fellow quarterbacks transitioned out of the Patriots.
"Was I surprised? Yes," Milton said in a recent interview with cowboys.com. "I kind of woke up around, like, 7 o'clock, to a call and I knew I was getting traded."
Despite being quiet for most of his rookie season, Milton was rumored as a potential trade candidate for much of the offseason. Following Brissett's departure and Joshua Dobbs joining as a veteran backup behind Maye, he was sent to Dallas.
