Cowboys Waive QB Joe Milton
The Cowboys waive quarterback Joe Milton, who appeared in five games over two seasons, naming Sam Howell as Dak Prescott's backup.
- On Monday, the Dallas Cowboys waived quarterback Joe Milton III to make room for running back Emari Demercado, claimed off waivers from the Arizona Cardinals, leaving Sam Howell as Dak Prescott's primary backup.
- Dallas signed Howell in free agency with $2.5 million guaranteed to compete with Milton, a battle head coach Brian Schottenheimer described as 'neck and neck' despite praising Milton's recent growth.
- Milton completed 29 of 43 passes for 378 yards during the preseason, including a 179-yard, two-touchdown performance against Arizona, but Howell threw two touchdowns in the finale against New Orleans while Milton managed 92 yards.
- The Cowboys now risk losing Milton to other franchises monitoring the waiver wire, though the team hopes to sign him to their practice squad if he clears waivers.
- Milton's arm strength and mobility likely prevent him from going unsigned, making the 26-year-old a potential target for quarterback-needy teams including the Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, and New York Jets.
