The Dallas Cowboys have made a significant move in free agency, acquiring backup quarterback Joe Milton from the New England Patriots, reflecting their need at the position after losing Cooper Rush and Trey Lance to free agency. Owner Jerry Jones recognized the urgency for a reliable backup and Milton brings an impressive arm to the table. However, he will face competition from experienced quarterback Will Grier, who currently holds a role on the depth chart.

During recent OTA practices, Milton has shown promise, impressing coaching staff with his potential. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer pointed out that all quarterbacks are undergoing a 'developmental phase,' highlighting the team's commitment to cultivating talent, especially for a position as crucial as quarterback.
