The Trey Lance experiment was a bust in Dallas, so the Cowboys are going to add a strong-armed quarterback to their roster.
Dallas is reportedly swinging a deal with the New England Patriots for Joe Milton.

Milton played college ball at Tennessee and was a sixth-round pick of the Patriots in the 2024 NFL draft.
He began his college career at Michigan and transferred to Tennessee after two seasons.
In 2023, he threw for 2,769 yards and 20 touchdowns.
Milton is known for having a cannon of an arm and there are plenty of highlights to back it up.

Dak Prescott and Will Grier are currently on the Dallas roster as quarterbacks. Lance, a one-time third overall pick of the San Francisco 49ers, is an unrestricted free agent.
