The case for trading Joe Milton III is complicated. Mostly because it's incumbent upon another team wanting to trade for Milton in order to make it a discussion worth having.

But, in a vacuum, the merits for trading Milton are clear.

"He's big, he's athletic, he's talented," said one AFC executive. "And he has a great arm... He does have trade value. He's a quarterback, and there's upside there."

Milton, a seventh-round pick in 2024, finished his rookie year with a flourish. In a 23-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills in the season finale, he went 22-for-29 for 241 yards and a touchdown.
