OT: Ex Patriots QB Joe Milton Released

[imahobgoblin]

Even though he had a strong pre-season there's inclinations that he wasn't "focused on the right things" in Dallas. Some have said he asked for his release to catch on with a QB needy team too - but while he hasn't signed anywhere yet he's probably a Week 2 pickup so his contract isn't guaranteed.

Cowboys' Reasons for Shocking Cut of QB Starting to Leak Out

The Dallas Cowboys are still working out their roster after Sunday's cut-down, but the Joe Milton decision remains a shocker.

He has a loaded cannon for an arm and an empty head.

Well, at least he is free and can come back to the Patriots and compete for the starting job since he thinks he can beat out Drake Maye.

No thanks to that idiot... guess He won't be reading his press clippings any time soon. It takes more than a Big Arm Joe and you don't have the other things. He could have stayed here and be a decent back up: but Joe taught he was better than Maye.

This rumour came without evidence from Curran and Perry. So far as I can tell, it's untrue.

In the interviews he gave around the time of this year's Super Bowl Milton's complaint was that the Patriots had kept Jacoby Brissett as the back-up. It was that that made him feel "disrespected", not rivalry with Maye.

That makes a lot more sense.

free agent?



sign the beast????

Remember when a lot of folks on here were angry about how little they got for him? I am sure Dallas tried to trade him before releasing him. Perhaps the market wasn’t what some thought it was.

He has an inflated view of himself

Not only did he but some here on this site had an inflated view of him.

He has a loaded cannon for an arm and an empty head.

And for those exact reasons, he'd probably fit right in with the Browns QB culture and would be an improvement on Sanders.

What stands out about Milton to me is that the 3rd string QB is often deemed by fandom as the next best QB - in part because many of them are skilled projects who have flaws, but in his case he really never quite caught on as a potential QB of the future. He doesn't seem to have the leadership skills one needs from a QB period.

With QB Joe Milton now on waivers, the Cleveland Browns could claim him, which could end Shedeur Sanders’ time in CLE
