Patriots Continue To Discuss Trading Joe Milton III

4 weeks ago

The New England Patriots are discussing the idea of trading quarterback Joe Milton III, according to FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. This is something the Patriots have been considering for a while now, but it makes even more sense after they signed veteran QB Josh Dobbs to a two-year deal in free agency on Monday. Former first-rounder Drake Maye is the unquestioned future of the franchise, but with Dobbs now in town, Milton would likely be the third-stringer if he were to stay in New England. Milton, a former sixth-rounder, was showcased in the regular-season finale last year in the win over the division-rival Buffalo Bills and looked good, going 22-for-29 for 241 yards and a touchdown while also adding a rushing touchdown on 10 carries. The Patriots are unlikely to get much in return for Milton, who has plenty of questions as a passer but is intriguing as a runner. They could wait to trade him until later this summer.
