New England traded Milton and a seventh-round pick to the Cowboys for a fifth-round pick, which leaves Joshua Dobbs as the team's lone quarterback behind Drake Maye. The Patriots could look to draft another quarterback for depth purposes, while Milton will be Dak Prescott's backup in Dallas.

The Dallas Cowboys' new quarterback, Joe Milton III, is booming with potential and doesn't put much strain on the salary cap.

Milton, 25, was selected in the sixth round of the draft last offseason by the Patriots after playing at Tennessee.
