The Dallas Cowboys Has filled Cooper Rush’s vacant position this week with the addition of former New England Patriots Quarterback Joe Milton III, but a Super Bowl -Master believes Milton’s arrival in Dallas could spell problems for Dak Prescott.
Cowboys received Milton along with a seventh round choice in exchange for a fifth round of choices in a trade with The patriots Wednesday. The move came after the veteran backup Cooper Rush signed with Baltimore Ravens in Offseason.

While Milton is expected to be a backup to Prescott, Two-time Super Bowl champion Lesean McCoy said Thursday that the 25-year-old quarterback could exit Prescott, depending on how he works next season.
“If DAK Prescott has a postal season that he has always had for the next year, right?
“Because Joe Milton got talent, he can play … I’ve seen other quarterbacks get paid a lot of money and they move on from them.”

The draft in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL draft, Milton, turned his rookie season on New England’s training team and played behind Rookie Drake Maye and Backup Jacoby Brissett.
He debuted with the patriots in the last game of the season against Buffalo Bills, where he had 241 passing yards and a touchdown, and rushed another score on earth to lead New England to victory.

The backup role has proven to be important in Dallas. Last season, Rush started eight games instead of a wounded prescott. He goes into this season fresh out of signing a four-year-old, $ 240 million contract extension.
