Dallas also received a 2025 seventh-round pick (No. 217) in the deal.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys were in need of a capable backup quarterback after\u00a0Cooper Rush\u00a0left for the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens\u00a0in free agency. Milton will join Prescott and\u00a0Will Grier in the quarterback room.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Dak Prescott Rumored Trade to Cleveland Browns Resurfaces<\/h2>\n<p>After the move, Bruce Drennan of BIGPLAY Sports\u00a0resurfaced a Prescott trade rumor\u00a0that caught fire in March.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGet ready for this one. I got a pretty darn good source within the Browns organization. I heard that part of the reason Myles Garrett was so willing to sign his contract extension \u2014 the Browns are negotiating as we speak with the Cowboys for a trade for quarterback Dak Prescott,\u201d\u00a0Drennan said. \u201cWhy? I don\u2019t know. We are not going anywhere with Prescott, even if they pull it off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rumor was immediately shot down by prominent insiders, including Jane Slater of NFL Network.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI run it all down when working this beat and the Dallas Cowboys are NOT working on trading Dak to the Browns,\u201d\u00a0Slater said. \u201cIn fact, texts with two sources tell me \u2018fake news\u2019 and \u2018absolutely not\u2019 before this gets any sort of wheels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the pushback, Drennan doubled down on the rumor on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI stand by the statement that I laid on you last week \u2014 this could come about,\u201d\u00a0Drennan said. \u201cLet me reiterate what I said initially. Dallas and Cleveland would make a deal. Cleveland would get Dak Prescott. Dallas would get [cornerback] Greg Newsome and the 33rd pick in the second round. If there\u2019s anything else in the deal, I don\u2019t know about that. I was not informed about anything else. There could be. It\u2019s not the second pick in the draft. The Browns would keep that.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cowboys Will be Smart With Dak Prescott After Injury<\/h2>\n<p>Prescott underwent\u00a0hamstring surgery on Nov. 13\u00a0after an injury that limited him to just eight games last season. According to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Prescott\u2019s recovery is going well but the team will be \u201csmart\u201d with his offseason work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know the definition of what full participation might mean. Everybody will be smart about it,\u201d Jones said. \u201cFor me, he\u2019s every bit under the circumstances, on schedule to get ready in a very prudent way for us to have the year we want to have. I think he\u2019s getting ready to go. He should be there timely, be able to execute individually and in team and what is required for a lot of spring. He should be able to do things within reason as far as risk is concerned in training camp.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Videos have\u00a0surfaced on social media\u00a0showing Prescott looking sharp during offseason workouts. After a disappointing 7-10 season, the Cowboys will count on Prescott to lead the charge under first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty Images Trade rumors have resurfaced linking Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott to the Cleveland Browns.
