Milton’s Cannon Could Change Everything | Dallas Cowboys News

0:00It's September 7th. Welcome in. This is Dallas Cowboys News. Today, where team coverage meets AI. So, the Dallas Cowboys tried to slide quarterback Joe Milton III onto their practice squad after waving him, thinking no one would pick him up. They figured it was a smart, cost-effective move since other teams' quarterback rooms are pretty full. But here's the kicker. He's got a cannon for an arm, and some teams, like the Jets, were apparently sniffing around. During the preseason, Milton showed off that arm, tossing a 53-yard touchdown pass. He even claims he can throw the ball 91 yards. Despite that raw talent, the Cowboys opted for the more experienced Sam Howe as their backup. Now Milton was reportedly not too pleased about being waived, and some folks, like former player Asante Samuel, felt the Cowboys undervalued him, hoping to get him back cheap. The idea was that other teams wouldn't see his potential to use it against Dallas later on. The team's head coach admitted they were fortunate Milton wasn't claimed.

1:02Even star quarterback Dak Prescott was happy to have him back, calling him a heck of a player, and saying the team, got lucky. Milton's situation now puts him in a position to potentially prove himself if either Prescott or Howell go down. He's got a real chance to show what he can do, and maybe even secure a future spot on the roster, with some believing he has the potential to be even. Better than Prescott.
