Dallas also received a 2025 seventh-round pick (No. 217) in the deal. The Cowboys needed a capable backup with\u00a0Cooper Rush\u00a0leaving in free agency for the Baltimore Ravens.<\/p>\n<p>Milton earned some praise for his lone start with the Patriots, passing for 241 yards and a touchdown. Some assumed New England moved on from Milton to take pressure off starter Drake Maye. However, Greg Bedard said on the \u201cGreg Bedard Patriots Podcast\u201d that Milton burned some bridges within the organization in New England.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_1\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cJoe Milton \u2014 and this is a direct quote from someone in the organization \u2014 is not a good dude,\u201d Bedard said on the \u201cGreg Bedard Patriots Podcast.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-youtube-com\"><button class=\"lty-playbtn\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<p>\u201cKnowing your role, playing your role, being part of a harmonious quarterback room \u2014 that was going to be an issue.
