The Dallas Cowboys took care of their quarterback position through the 2028 campaign when they signed Dak Prescott to a four-year, $240 million extension back in September. As expensive as the contract is, the face of the Cowboys more than deserves it after performing as one of the NFL’s best signal-callers for nearly a decade.<\/p>\n
Having said that, what happens after Prescott’s contract expires remains to be seen. The three-time Pro Bowl QB will be 35 years old at the end of the 2028 season. While that’s still young enough, in theory, to play a few more years in the league, the Cowboys could potentially be ready to move on to a new name under center by then.<\/p>\n
Assuming that the Cowboys have begun thinking about Prescott’s eventual successor, one NFL insider has the perfect QB for America’s Team to pursue.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday’s edition of NFL Live<\/em>, insider Jeremy Fowler floated around the idea of the Cowboys trading for New England Patriots QB Joe Milton. The second-year gunslinger has been garnering attention after a strong Week 18 performance last season.<\/p>\n “The Patriots are exploring a trade. I’m told several teams are interested,” Fowler said (h\/t @Brandoniswrite). “One team to potentially watch for is the Dallas Cowboys because they are looking for a good backup, a young backup with upside they may not get in the draft. Maybe they get in a trade.”<\/p>\n ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said the #Cowboys<\/a> are a team that could be interested in trading for QB Joe Milton.<\/p>\n If they\u2019re looking for a QB to develop behind Dak Prescott, Milton could be an option if they don\u2019t land someone in the draft.<\/p>\n (\ud83c\udfa5: NFL Live 3\/19\/25) pic.twitter.com\/fTTkv4i6kD<\/a><\/p>\n — Brandon Loree (@Brandoniswrite) March 22, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
