Dallas secured a backup quarterback from New England.

The Dallas Cowboys’ search for a reserve QB to Dak Prescott has landed on Joe Milton III.

Dallas acquired Joe and this year’s 7th-round selection from the Pats for this year’s 5th-round selection.

Discussions between the organizations began in the past few weeks and were resolved in the past few days during the National Football League’s annual meeting in Florida.

Dallas’ need for a reserve began after Cooper Rush inked a 2-season contract with the Ravens. Cowboys tried to sign Jacoby Brissett, but the quarterback decided to ink with the Cardinals. The other alternative for the franchise from Texas was Drew Lock, who played for the Giants in the past campaign.

Last year, Dallas had discussions with Trey Lance regarding an extension after Dak sustained a campaign-ending hamstring injury, but a deal wasn’t reached. Trey started the final match of the past campaign and, at the moment, is without a team.

Milton, who was a 6th-round selection in 2024, competed in the Patriots’ campaign finale as he led the team to a victory vs. the Bills. Milton completed 22 of 29 passes for 241 yards and a TD while also running for another score.
