The Dallas Cowboys are acquiring quarterback Joe Milton III from the New England Patriots, multiple media outlets reported on Thursday.
Per ESPN, the Cowboys are sending their compensatory fifth-round pick to the Patriots and a seventh-round pick.
Milton, 25, will serve as the backup to Dak Prescott in Dallas after Cooper Rush signed with the Baltimore Ravens last month. Trey Lance, the Cowboys’ third-string quarterback the past two seasons, is a free agent.
Making his NFL debut, Milton completed 22 of 29 passes for 241 yards and a touchdown in a 23-16 win against the Buffalo Bills on Jan. 5. New England selected Milton in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Tennessee.
The Patriots feature Drake Maye as their starting quarterback. They also have Josh Dobbs on the quarterback depth chart after signing the veteran to a two-year, $8 million deal last month.
