Cowboys Smart Move to Land Demercado | Dallas Cowboys News

The Dallas Cowboys pulled off a masterstroke: releasing QB Joe Milton only to re-sign him to the practice squad, freeing up cap space and timing their move perfectly to land running back Emari Demercado off waivers. With Demercado’s explosive rushing ability, they upgraded their backfield without sacrificing quarterback depth. By waiting until Monday to waive Milton, they ensured no other team would snatch him—especially since he’s still raw but showing real promise. Now Dak Prescott stays as starter, Sam Howell as backup, and Milton as the third QB learning behind the scenes. Smart, strategic, and ultimately a win-win for the Cowboys’ roster and future flexibility. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
