Cowboys Cut Milton Despite Potential | Dallas Cowboys News

Dallas Cowboys surprise fans by cutting QB Joe Milton III, their backup to Dak Prescott — and he’s now a free agent after not being claimed on waivers. Once a sixth-round pick who started for New England as a rookie and led them to a win against the Bills, Milton showed flashes of elite arm talent. His trade to Dallas followed controversy over comments implying he was better than Drake Maye. Despite playing well last season and even with Sam Howell joining the team, the move still baffles analysts like Phil Simms, who believes Milton has starter-level potential. But his raw decision-making and accuracy issues mean he’ll likely land on a practice squad — maybe even return to Dallas — before becoming a full-time starter.
