The Dallas Cowboys decided to go in a different direction with their backup quarterback spot this offseason, letting both Cooper Rush and Trey Lance walk. To fill that spot, they made a trade with the New England Patriots to bring in talented gunslinger Joe Milton to back up Dak Prescott.
Milton doesn't have a ton of experience at the NFL level, but he has plenty of ability and can throw it with the best of them. As a result, he isn't exactly lacking for self-confidence either. He may have wanted a change of scenery if the Patriots were not going to give him a chance to win the starting job from Drake Maye, according to Karen Guregian of MassLive.
