There has been plenty of speculation surrounding the reason behind the New England Patriots trading Joe Milton III to the Dallas Cowboys. However, the latest report by Mass Live's Karen Guregian suggested the second-year quarterback "fancied himself a starter."
The Patriots traded Milton and a seventh-round draft pick to the Dallas Cowboys for a fifth-round pick. Guregian wrote:
"Based on intel gathered from sources during the week, Milton fancied himself a starter. He didn’t see himself being given a legitimate chance to compete with Drake Maye. He also believed he was good enough to give Maye a run, if not overtake him for the top job.
