The Dallas Cowboys could soon re-sign third-year quarterback Joe Milton III. They shouldn’t pass on that opportunity.
In a surprising move, the Cowboys waived Milton on Monday, awarding the backup QB job to Sam Howell. Milton could soon return to Dallas after clearing waivers and becoming a free agent on Tuesday.
The Cowboys are open to reuniting with the 26-year-old QB. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer and co-owner Stephen Jones both said they would love to add him to their practice squad, which they should.
