Patriots trade Joe Milton to Cowboys

Joe Milton is headed to Dallas.

According to multiple reports, the Cowboys have traded for Milton to backup quarterback Dak Prescott.

The Patriots will receive a fifth-round pick in exchange for Milton and a seventh-round pick.

It was reported on Wednesday that New England had received multiple trade inquiries on Milton. Dallas’ proposal won out.

Milton, 25, was a sixth-round pick out of Tennessee in 2024. He played well in the preseason before making one appearance in the regular season, receiving the majority of snaps in the Week 18 game against Buffalo. Milton completed 22-of-29 passes for 241 yards with a touchdown in that game.
