Joe Milton is a free agent, straight up. The quarterback waived by the Cowboys just yesterday officially cleared waivers today, meaning he’s now free to sign with any team out there. We’re talking active roster or practice squad, whatever shakes out.
The Waiting Game for a Strong Arm
It’s looking like an active roster spot isn’t the most likely landing spot, if we’re being real. Any team ready to put him straight on the 53-man squad probably would have claimed him when he hit waivers. But don’t sleep on this kid completely. The Cowboys want Milton on their practice squad, for sure, but there’s a real possibility some other squad swoops in with an offer.
What’s the Play Here?
Milton, at 26 years old, has been through a journey already. He spent three college seasons with Michigan and another three at Tennessee. The Patriots grabbed him in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL draft. After a year in New England, he got traded to Dallas last year. So yeah, he hasn’t exactly lit up the field yet, but the dude’s got size, speed, and a cannon for an arm. You know what that means: talent is there, and word is more than one team is checking him out.
So, what’s next for Milton? Does he roll with the Cowboys’ practice squad offer, or does some other team out there, eyeing that raw talent and strong arm, make a move? The NFL keeps moving, and we’ll be watching to see where this 26-year-old lands.
