Boston Sports Journal’s Greg Bedard writes the Patriots “are at least contemplating” trading Joe Milton III this offseason.
“I thought the Patriots would hold off on entertaining a trade of Joe Milton, who was drafted in the sixth round (193rd overall) last year, for at least another season, but there’s increasing belief around the NFL that the Patriots are at least contemplating a trade of Milton this offseason,” Bedard writes. Milton, who had an unbelievable debut against the Bills in Week 18 that featured several ridiculous throws, may have Matt Flynned himself into a quarterback-needy team’s plans for 2025. “Again, I’m not saying he’s on the block right now, but the Patriots will likely consider it when everything settles with the front office and coaching staff,” Bedard adds. Milton III could be an intriguing, low-cost move for a team with quarterback needs that is up against the cap, like the Browns or Saints.
