Dallas Cowboys Secure QB Joe Milton III from New England Patriots

In a recent development in the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys have traded for quarterback Joe Milton III from the New England Patriots to serve as a backup to Dak Prescott. The trade involved exchanging picks in the 2025 draft.

This move comes after Cooper Rush, the previous backup, signed with the Baltimore Ravens. Milton, a sixth-round pick last year, showed promise in his season finale with the Patriots, leading them to victory against the Buffalo Bills.

With Prescott recovering from a hamstring injury, the Cowboys are looking to ensure they have a reliable backup quarterback in place. The acquisition of Milton provides depth and competition at the quarterback position for the Cowboys.
