The Pats have traded backup QB Joe Milton and a 7th rounder to the Cowboys for a 5th rounder.
This is not totally unexpected as there have been a lot of rumors about Milton being traded. The Pats get a little return on investment as they drafted Milton with a 7th round pick and now have used him and a future 7th to get a future 5th.
I saw someone make the point that if Milton didn’t play so well in the Bills game we wouldn’t have been able to trade him for a 5th. But also, if he didn’t play so well vs the Bills, we also would still have the 1st overall pick. So everything comes down to perspective.
