The Dallas Cowboys were hopeful that Joe Milton, acquired from the Patriots in May for a fifth-round pick, would cement himself as the backup quarterback, but he hasn't showed the requisite progress in the preseason to win the job.
Milton failed to find a rhythm in both of his starts, leaving many to question how the offense would look in the regular season if Dak Prescott were to miss time, and if the Cowboys should go out and acquire a more proven commodity during the upcoming roster cutdown.
Third-stringers Jameis Winston (Giants) and Case Keenum (Bears) are potential options, and you can now throw Kenny Pickett's name into the ring after the Browns announced that 40-year-old Joe Flacco - yes, he's still in the league - will be their starter.
