Bound for Dallas
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
Standing out in minicamp
In Thursday's mailbag, Saad Yousef of The Athletic relays that Milton's ability to throw on the run could lead to a bigger role for the second-year quarterback in 2025.
ANALYSIS
Milton spent most of the 2024 season as New England's QB3 behind Drake Maye and Jacoby Brissett, but he drew the start in Week 18 against the Bills. Milton put together a standout performance, completing 75.9 percent of his passes for 241 yards, one touchdowns and no picks while adding a rushing score. He was traded to the Cowboys in early April and is the clear backup to Dak Prescott. However, Yousef believes that Milton would put himself in position to develop into something more for the Cowboys down the road with a strong performance in training camp and the preseason.
