Cowboys land QB Joe Milton III from Patriots after intense trade buzz
NY Post
The Cowboys added some quarterback insurance Thursday.
Dallas is acquiring second-year quarterback Joe Milton III from the Patriots, according to multiple reports.
Dallas sent a fifth- and seventh-round pick to New England in exchange, NFL.com reported.
It comes following the departure of Dak Prescott’s longtime backup, Cooper Rush, to the Ravens earlier in the offseason.
Rush, 31, had been on his second stint with the Cowboys before agreeing to a two-year, $6.2 million deal with Baltimore as a top option to back up Lamar Jackson.
Milton, a sixth-round pick out of Tennessee in last year’s NFL draft, had been at the center of trade buzz for much of the offseason.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
