The New England Patriots have traded Joe Milton, their second-year backup quarterback, to the Dallas Cowboys alongside a seventh-round draft choice, in exchange for a fifth-round selection. Analysts believe this move was expected, given Milton's situation as the team looks to solidify their quarterback position with starter Drake Maye and veteran Joshua Dobbs. Although the trade's value has been debated, with some arguing it could have netted a better return, the consensus is that it was necessary due to the team's changing needs and Milton's circumstances.
Milton not playing out his rookie contract with the Patriots was always the most likely outcome, and a move happening after only one season also seemed realistic.
The Patriots have their stud QB of the future ahead of him, so in a perfect world, Milton would have never played another snap for them.
