Patriots trading QB Joe Milton to Cowboys for Day 3 draft pick

Maye and Dobbs currently sit as the lone passers on New England’s roster, which likely means the Pats will add a camp arm at some point this offseason — either a rookie or journeyman.

The Cowboys had a need behind Prescott after Cooper Rush signed in Baltimore, leaving Will Grier as the lone backup signal-caller on the roster. The trade is a clear indicator that the Trey Lance experiment went awry.

Given that Dallas traded a fourth-rounder for Lance, a former first-round pick, to throw 41 total passes, the late-round pick-swap compensation for Milton is peanuts.

Milton is a talented but raw prospect who could be an interesting play should Prescott, who started just eight games in 2024, suffer another injury. At the very least, Milton will make Cowboys preseason games significantly more entertaining.
