FRISCO - There are a lot of reasons that explain why the Dallas Cowboys traded for raw talent Joe Milton.
There is one alleged reason that explains why the New England Patriots gave him away.
This offseason saw both of the Dallas backup quarterbacks leave in free agency, with Cooper Rush singing with the Baltimore Ravens and Trey Lance getting an opportunity with the Los Angeles Chargers.
Before those departures - but in conjunction with them - Jerry Jones' Cowboys agreed to a trade with the Patriots to land QB Joe Milton III, the team's potential backup for this season behind Dak Prescott.
