Backup quarterback has become a complicated matter for the New England Patriots after they reportedly agreed with Joshua Dobbs on a two-year, $8 million deal with $3.8 million guaranteed.
And they might resolve the issue by trading away a member of their quartback room.
The Patriots most certainly won’t be parting ways with Drake Maye, the presumed starting signal-caller for years to come, or Dobbs since he just got to New England. That leaves Joe Milton III as the possible odd-man out.
“The Patriots have had discussions on trading QB Joe Milton III and would like to trade him to the right situation to continue his development in the NFL — should a deal get done,” NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported on the X platform Monday night.
