Cowboys, Milton, and the QB Shuffle | Dallas Cowboys News

Dallas Cowboys pulled off a savvy chess move with QB Joe Milton, waiving him then re-signing him to the practice squad after he cleared waivers — a gamble that paid off when other teams couldn’t match his fit. Meanwhile, the Miami Dolphins traded for Kyle McCord to back up Malik Willis, showing how QB room shuffles are heating up before kickoff. Though rumors swirled about a trade attempt, insiders confirm Dallas preferred Sam Howell at No. 2 — but kept Milton close, even if not on the 53. Milton explored other options, but ultimately returned to Dallas, where preseason stats showed promise: three TDs, zero picks. The Cowboys hit the field Sunday against the Giants, QB depth intact and strategy in motion. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
