New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel commented on the decision to trade Joe Milton III to the Dallas Cowboys back in April, during an appearance on The Greg Hill Show Monday.
The move initially came as a surprise given the upside Milton displayed on the team. There was a thought that the Patriots would have two cracks at finding a franchise quarterback. Drake Maye was obviously the first option, but if he didn't work out or got injured, perhaps Milton would have been good enough to fill that void.
The Patriots ultimately opted to trade him, along with a 2025 seventh-round draft pick, to the Cowboys in exchange for a fifth-round pick.
