The New England Patriots traded quarterback Joe Milton to the Dallas Cowboys this offseason. The team already had its quarterback of the future in Drake Maye, and Milton had some trade value after posting a nice outing in the final regular-season game of the 2024 season.<\/p>\n

Milton was expected to serve as an exciting young backup behind Dak Prescott in Dallas. However, through two preseason games, the Tennessee product has been underwhelming, and the Patriots are looking like the early winners of the trade.<\/p>\n

So far in the preseason, Milton has completed just 55.3% of his passes for 265 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions. The 22-year-old has electric arm talent and athleticism, but his accuracy and ability to read defenses are still a work in progress.<\/p>\n

Despite a rough start to the preseason, Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer hasn\u2019t lost faith in Milton. However, Schottenheimer hasn\u2019t committed to him as the No.2 quarterback yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t say I\u2019m concerned. We didn\u2019t get in a rhythm. \u2026 It wasn\u2019t just Joe [Milton],\u201d Schottenheimer said via Jon Machota of The Athletic.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not panicked. I feel like I don\u2019t have to decide anything today,\u201d Schottenheimer said on the backup quarterback spot.<\/p>\n

Deciding a winner of a trade takes a while, but as of right now, New England seems like the clear winner of the deal. Milton is still a project quarterback who is nowhere near the level of a starting quarterback. Dallas may be questioning if he is even a solid backup.<\/p>\n

In return for Milton and a seventh-round pick, the Patriots received a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. They used that pick in a trade with the Detroit Lions to select kicker Andres Borregales, and also added long snapper Julian Ashby and cornerback Kobee Minor in the draft through picks acquired in the deal with Detroit.<\/p>\n
