The Dallas Cowboys traded for quarterback Joe Milton III to develop him as a backup for Dak Prescott. Milton, a 6-6 second-year player, took second-team reps at OTAs after impressing in his only regular-season game with the New England Patriots, where he completed 22-of-29 passes for 241 yards and a touchdown. Embracing his new opportunity, Milton expressed gratitude for the trade and excitement about learning from Prescott, citing factors like warm weather and the chance to be part of “America’s Team” as reasons for viewing the move as a “blessing.”
