The Cowboys' new backup quarterback speaks for the first time.
On Thursday, the Cowboys acquired Patriots quarterback Joe Milton III and a seventh-round pick for a fifth-round selection, as Dallas accomplished their goal of getting younger at the position with a high-upside player to backup Dak Prescott. Even though he only just completed his rookie season, Milton is ready for a fresh start.
"It was great, it's a blessing come true," Milton said of the trade. "That was something that me and my team talked about and was able to get done with the Cowboys, so it's just a blessing to be here.
