A new trade candidate could be out there for the Pittsburgh Steelers if they want to take a chance on a young player. The New England Patriots, who signed Josh Dobbs, are reportedly floating second-year quarterback Joe Milton out there in trade talks.
Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports the Patriots are in discussions to at least consider trading Milton to a new team.
“The Patriots have had discussions on trading QB Joe Milton III and would like to trade him to the right situation to continue his development in the NFL — should a deal get done.New England loves Milton, but Drake Maye is their franchise and they just signed Josh Dobbs to a 2-year, $8M contract to be the backup," Schultz said.
Milton came out of Tennessee as a strong-armed, but raw quarterback. In his one game of playing time with the Patriots, he impressed, throwing for 241 yards and one touchdown while completing 75.9 percent of his passes.
The guess for Milton’s market would just be a wild guess, but the quarterback options on the market are either veterans like Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers or unproven young players with upside. So, Milton could pair with one of the veterans.
