$Signed a four-year, $4.2 million contract with the Patriots in May of 2024.
Bound for Dallas
QBDallas Cowboys
April 3, 2025
The Cowboys acquired Milton and a 2025 seventh-round pick from the Patriots on Thursday in exchange for a 2025 fifth-round pick, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
A 2024 sixth-round pick, Milton spent most of his rookie season behind Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye on the depth chart but got the chance to play extended snaps in a win over the Bills in Week 18, when he completed 22 of 29 pass attempts for 241 yards and a touchdown to go with 16 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries. After the Patriots let Brissett walk in free agency before bringing in a more experienced backup option in Joshua Dobbs to serve as Maye's understudy in 2025, Milton will be moved to Dallas, where he'll serve as the No. 2 quarterback behind Dak Prescott (hamstring).

2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Patriots selected Milton in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, and while the Tennessee is no immediate threat to the depth chart standing of either veteran Jacoby Brissett or fellow rookie Drake Maye, the 6-5, 246-pounder is an intriguing developmental QB thanks to his impressive arm strength.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Traded to Dallas
QBDallas Cowboys
April 3, 2025
Milton and a 2025 seventh-round pick were traded from the Patriots to the Cowboys on Thursday in exchange for a 2025 fifth-round pick, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Milton moves to a less crowded depth chart, as he's set to slot in as the clear backup to Dak Prescott since neither Cooper Rush nor Trey Lance are on Dallas' roster any longer. Prescott is recovering from a season-ending hamstring injury but is expected to be available to begin the 2025 season. Milton impressed in the 2024 season finale for the Patriots, but New England is opting to move forward with a different 2024 draft pick as its starter, choosing third overall pick Drake Maye over the sixth-rounder Milton.
