Milton III Clears Waivers, Free-Agent Future Hangs in the Balance

Dallas released former Cowboys QB Joe Milton III, who cleared waivers and is now an unrestricted free agent. Dallas had claimed Emari Demercado and tabbed Sam Howell as Dak Prescott’s backup after Milton’s 67.4% completion, 378 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT preseason showing. With no team claiming him, Milton can sign elsewhere or rejoin Dallas on the practice squad. Fans reacted with jokes about Jerry Jones and floated potential landing spots including the Jets, Dolphins, Falcons, and Chargers, while others expect him to end up back on the Cowboys’ practice squad or sign with another team that values his upside.
