Cowboys waive Joe Milton, fueling debate over development gamble
Dallas cut quarterback Joe Milton on Monday after a training camp that suggested he could become a long‑term backup. Reports say the Cowboys received trade calls but did not pursue a Milton trade, instead hoping he would clear waivers for a possible return to the practice squad. The move is criticized as contradictory to Milton’s strong camp and preseason showing and is contrasted with other roster decisions that shielded players like Milton’s contemporaries, prompting questions about the team’s development strategy.
