Greg Bedard shares what he’s hearing about the Joe Milton trade on BST with Felger and Holley.
On principle, it's not surprising that the New England Patriots traded Joe Milton III.
The team has its franchise quarterback in second-year star Drake Maye, and you could argue it's better to have an experienced veteran as Maye's backup -- like Joshua Dobbs, whom New England signed in free agency -- than a Year 2 development project like Milton.
What was a bit surprising, however, was when the Patriots traded Milton. Why deal the raw yet talented quarterback on Thursday, just four days before the team began voluntary workouts on Monday?
