The New England Patriots have trade quarterback Joe Milton to the Dallas Cowboys.

NFL free agency news has teetered off over the last couple of weeks but a major move has occurred on Thursday. The New England Patriots are trading quarterback Joe Milton to the Dallas Cowboys, according to NFL on Fox. The trade consisted of Milton and a 7th-round draft pick to the Cowboys, and a 5th-round draft pick to the Patriots, per Jordan Schultz.

Milton was selected by the New England Patriots in the 6th round last year and served as a backup this past season. However, it appears the franchise has found their net quarterback in the form of Drake Maye.
