The Dallas Cowboys have released quarterback Joe Milton, clearing the way for Sam Howell to serve as the primary backup to Dak Prescott. The move comes after a fierce competition between Milton and Howell for the QB2 spot. Milton, a former sixth-round pick by the New England Patriots, spent one season with the Cowboys. He appeared in four games, completing 62.5% of his passes for 183 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. The Cowboys traded for Howell this offseason, and he will now serve as Prescott's backup. The team received some offers to trade one of their signal-callers but decided to keep all three quarterbacks on the roster.
