profootballrumors.com • • sports
Key Points:
- The Dallas Cowboys have decided to waive quarterback Joe Milton, who competed with Sam Howell for the backup QB position behind Dak Prescott.
- Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones indicated the team hopes to re-sign Milton to their practice squad if he clears waivers later today.
- Milton, a 2024 sixth-round pick, appeared in limited action with New England before being traded to Dallas, where he played 51 snaps in 2025.
- Sam Howell, who started full-time for Washington in 2023, has secured the QB2 role with the Cowboys as they look for reliable depth behind Prescott.
- The Cowboys' move corresponds with their waiver claim of running back Emari Demercado, and they are carrying two quarterbacks on the active roster to start the season.
