Joe Milton III Traded to Dallas Cowboys

Joe Milton III`s trade to the Dallas Cowboys enhances their quarterback depth, while Trey McBride becomes the highest-paid tight end.

Quarterback Joe Milton III has been traded from the New England Patriots to the Dallas Cowboys, marking a significant move in the NFL. The Cowboys acquired Milton along with a seventh-round pick in exchange for a fifth-round pick, solidifying their quarterback depth after Cooper Rush`s departure to the Baltimore Ravens. Milton, who was drafted by the Patriots in the sixth round of the 2024 draft, showcased his potential during his rookie season, particularly in the Patriots` season finale against Buffalo, where he rushed for a touchdown and threw for another.

Milton`s future with the Patriots became uncertain following the signing of quarterback Josh Dobbs to a two-year deal, prompting the Cowboys to seize the opportunity to bring in a young backup to support Dak Prescott. This trade not only enhances the Cowboys` roster but also provides Milton with a fresh start in Dallas.

In other NFL news, tight end Trey McBride has signed a lucrative four-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals worth $76 million, including $43 million guaranteed. This contract makes McBride the highest-paid tight end in the league, following his impressive performance that earned him a Pro Bowl selection in 2024.
