The New England Patriots have been extremely busy to begin NFL free agency. Mike Vrabel and company mean business and that can be seen by how much money they have spent already.
Among the notable additions are Harold Landry, Milton Williams, Morgan Moses, Carlton Davis, Robert Spillane, Josh Dobbs, Mack Hollins, and Austin Hooper.
Clearly, the Patriots are looking to reload their roster with talent. At this point in the offseason, New England is a clear winner.
Following the addition of Dobbs, in particular, another situation is starting to come up for the Patriots.
New England is starting to discuss an intriguing quarterback trade option.
According to a report from NFL insider Jordan Schultz , the Patriots are discussing trades involving young quarterback Joe Milton III.
“Sources: 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.”
Milton’s trade value rose dramatically following his season finale performance against the Buffalo Bills. He led New England to a win, which also ended up costing them the No. 1 overall pick, but his performance was impressive.
During that game, Milton ended up completing 22 of his 29 passes for 241 yards, a touchdown, and no interceptions. He also picked up 16 yards and a touchdown with his legs.
At just 25 years old, Milton could end up being an option for a team needing a quarterback.
