The season-ending showdown at Gillette Stadium also marked the end of the road for Jerod Mayo, who was fired almost immediately after the game clock showed all zeroes.<\/p>\n<p>But one bright spot for the Patriots coming out of that early January clash was the emergence of a new asset. Joe Milton III was very impressive in his NFL debut and showed off a skill set that is hard to come by behind center. ESPN\u2019s Aaron Schatz believes New England should now try to capitalize on the great outing by selling high on the rocked-armed quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere could be interest around the league in Milton because of the overall weakness of this year\u2019s quarterback draft class,\u201d Schatz wrote in a column published Friday, which recommended a bold offseason move for all 32 teams. \u201cThe rookie showed promise in\u00a0Week 18\u00a0against the Bills\u2019 backups with a 72.4 QBR. If New England can turn three more years of a sixth-round pick into four more years of a third- or fourth-round pick, that\u2019s usually going to be a win for a roster. Especially when the only playing time Milton had during the regular season was a finale game against backups because the Patriots already have their quarterback of the future in\u00a0Drake Maye.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schatz wasn\u2019t the first NFL analyst to suggest a Milton trade for New England. Brian Baldinger went as far as to say the Tennessee product could be the \u201cvery best option\u201d for teams looking to upgrade their QB situation this offseason.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen how Mike Vrabel and company handle Milton this spring. But one report claimed the Patriots \u201cwill likely consider\u201d trading the 24-year-old in wake of his breakout last month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An NFL analyst believes the New England Patriots should look into making this bold trade over the course of the offseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15185,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
