Milton Cut, But Unshaken | Dallas News

Dallas Cowboys cut sixth-round QB Joe Milton in a tough roster move, making room for a third running back — but Milton’s confidence remains unshaken. He called the decision “shocking” but praised the team’s development process, even expressing openness to re-signing on the practice squad. Despite being waived, he still believes he’s the best QB on the roster and insists he gave it his all during preseason. The battle with Sam Howell was razor-close — Milton outperformed him early on, but Howell’s veteran experience (18 starts, 600+ career passes) edged him out in the final game. For a team focused on winning now, the safer bet is keeping the seasoned backup — a tough call, but one that prioritizes stability over potential.
