The New England Patriots shook things up ahead of the 2025 NFL draft after agreeing to trade quarterback Joe Milton III and a seventh-round pick to the Dallas Cowboys for a fifth-round pick. A trade involving Milton was expected after the Patriots signed veteran quarterback Joshua Dobbs to a two-year, $8 million deal in free agency.

The Dallas Cowboys acquired quarterback Joe Milton from the New England Patriots in a trade on Friday. Milton started one game for the Patriots last season.

The New England Patriots may have found a diamond in the rough in Joe Milton III. The young quarterback has shown immense potential since being drafted in the sixth round last year, but he's unlikely to reach his ceiling with the organization that selected him.
