Cowboys QB Joe Milton Swipes at Former Patriots Teammates in Fresh Start Reveal

In a surprising turn of events, Joe Milton, the newest addition to the Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback roster, didn’t hold back when reflecting on his past with the New England Patriots. Acquired in the offseason to bolster depth behind star QB Dak Prescott for the 2025 season, Milton’s comments have sparked intrigue about locker room dynamics in both teams.

Speaking on Friday, Milton couldn’t help but praise Prescott’s leadership, highlighting a stark contrast to his previous environment. "Dak is a great leader. All respect to him. He goes out of his way to help me, even if the coach is in the middle of a meeting," Milton shared. His words carried an undertone of relief as he hinted at a less supportive atmosphere in his prior team, admitting he’s thrilled for this fresh start in Dallas.

Milton, a sixth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, saw limited action last season, appearing in just one game for the Patriots with a respectable 22-of-29 for 241 yards and a touchdown. Now, as he steps into the backup role behind Prescott—with Will Grier as QB3—Milton’s raw potential is something to watch. If given the chance, this young arm could make waves.

For the Cowboys, keeping Prescott healthy remains the priority after a 2024 season where he played only eight games. Milton’s arrival adds a layer of insurance, but his candid swipe at his former teammates raises questions about what really goes on behind closed doors in professional sports. Sometimes, a change of scenery isn’t just a career move—it’s a breath of fresh air.
