Cowboys QB Battle: Howell vs Milton

It's April 4th.

Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI and ready for kickoff.

Dallas Cowboys shook up their quarterback room this offseason by signing Sam Howe, turning

what was supposed to be a quiet backup spot into a reel.

Battle.

Dak Prescott stays the starter, but now Joe Milton has to go head-to-head with Howe for

that number two role.

Howe will bring solid experience, having started 18 games with the Washington commanders, where

they once saw him as their future guy.

Milton's been raw, but flashing potential, and the Cowboys clearly want to push him harder.

Brian Shottenheimer, the offensive coordinator, called it straight and open competition

between two uber talented guys.

He said they love having both on the roster to develop, and Howe is excited to grow

under their system.

This move lights a fire under Milton, while giving the team depth if Dak gets hurt.

It's pro football, spots aren't handed out, and Milton's clock is ticking to prove he's

the backup.

One training camp in Oxnard, one dude steps up as the clear backup, making this the

spark the Cowboys need for a stronger squad.
