New England Patriots rookie quarterback Joe Milton III has generated some buzz due to his performance in the regular season finale against the Buffalo Bills back in January.

NFL insider Brian Baldinger suggested him as an option this year for quarterback-needy teams in the league. However, the Boston Sports Journal's Greg Bedard took things a step further by saying the Patriots might consider trading the former sixth-round draft pick.

“I thought the Patriots would hold off on entertaining a trade of Joe Milton, who was drafted in the sixth round (193rd overall) last year, for at least another season, but there’s increasing belief around the NFL that the Patriots are at least contemplating a trade of Milton this offseason,” Bedard wrote, as transcribed by NESN.
