Backup plan: Cowboys trade for Pats QB Milton

The Patriots traded quarterback Joe Milton III and a seventh-round pick to the Cowboys for a fifth-round pick Thursday as Dallas sought a backup option.

www.espn.com

The Cowboys acquired Milton and a 2025 seventh-round pick from the New England Patriots for a fifth-round pick, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

That fifth rounder is a compensatory pick too.

Not only is that less than we traded for Sam Howell, it's less than the Cowboys traded for Trey Lance last year.

We didn't lose any picks for Sam Howell. We just gave up slotting.

I didn't claim we did lose picks.

Our trade was:
#78 (3rd round)
#152 (5th round)

for

Howell
#102 (4th round)
#179 (6th round)

Basically, we traded out of two rounds for him, 24 spots from the third to the fourth, and 27 spots from the fifth to the sixth. That's definitely more than what the Cowboys are giving up in this trade, where they technically are also not "losing" picks. Seems like semantics anyway. Picks are being traded, they're just not losing net picks.

I'm wondering what effect this trade has on the Pats first round pick.

And Howell has more experience and is younger than Joe Milton. Not at the time of the trade. Right now. Howell is younger than Milton. He's also younger than Trey Lance.

Seems like a smart move for Dallas. Then again, F Dallas. For no reason

I’m slightly annoyed by this. I’d much rather have Milton than Howell

SoulfishHawk · Apr 3, 2025

Seems like Milton is pretty overhyped.

No, EXTREMELY overhyped

SoulfishHawk · Apr 3, 2025

That too

Rat · Apr 3, 2025

I've thought for a little bit now that he's pretty overhyped and I thought people were reading too much into that good game he had against the Bills backups late in the season, but damn, I certainly thought he'd go for more than THAT.

Milton is still a complete unknown. He shined in a very small sample size. Gives people hope whereas a lot of fans have made up their mind on Howell based on an entire season. I guess I am in that camp myself. But we're talking backup QB's here, not huge deal either way.

The Patriots chose Joshua Dobbs over Milton that should tell you something of what they thought of Milton. They pretty much got their 6th rd pick back they had invested

Well will be be Joe Gilliam or James Harris in Dallas,

So, now they have Dak, Trey Lance and Joe Milton.....correct?

SoulfishHawk · Apr 4, 2025

One good game against a bunch of backups. Overrated might be the biggest understatement of the year.

Some people always gotta be bitching about something.

Watch out, some moron will chime in saying we should've signed Dobbs.
