Cowboys Get Concerning News on QB Joe Milton

“Knowing your role, playing your role, being part of a harmonious quarterback room — that was going to be an issue. It wasn’t about Drake Maye. It was just about the room.”

Joe Milton Praised Cowboys QB Dak Prescott After Trade

If the report of Milton not being a “good dude” is true, perhaps a change of scenery and playing behind an accomplished veteran like Dak Prescott will help him. And so far, Milton has said all the right things.

“It’s great, he’s a great person,” Milton told the Cowboys’ official site about Prescott. “This is my second time meeting him, so just being around him I feel the great energy that he brings and just willing and look forward to learn from him and really compete.”

Milton also described himself as “cool, calm, and collected.”

“I like to have fun, I’m very passionate about football, play Call of Duty here and there. I like being me,” Milton said. “You’ll always see me smiling for one, and I’m always going to enjoy my teammates to the best that I can.

“Here now, I’m a Cowboy now, being able to learn my teammates and get to explore and experience different things with them.”

Dak Prescott Will ‘Push’ Fellow Cowboys QBs

Prescott shared a strong bond with Rush, his longtime backup, and now hopes to build that same rapport with Milton. He’s looking forward to working alongside Milton and fellow quarterback Will Grier as they get to work this offseason.

“Anybody that’s played with me or been in that quarterback room knows that all I care about is everybody pushing everybody and getting better,” Prescott told reporters recently. “I’ve already worked with Will (Grier) for years, know his mindset. I’m excited to add Joe to the room and I know Will is as well.”

Prescott isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. The Cowboys locked him in with a four-year, $240 million extension before last season, which included an $80 million signing bonus and $231 million guaranteed.
