His remark came after he was asked about his relationship with Cowboys starting QB Dak Prescott.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDak is a great leader. All respect to him. He literally goes out of his way to help me, no matter if the coach is talking in the meeting, he literally goes out of his way to help,\u201d Milton said, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallascowboys.com\/news\/joe-milton-getting-acclimated-to-cowboys-offense-working-with-dak-prescott\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:via DallasCowboys.com;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">via DallasCowboys.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been in another building. I know how that goes. It\u2019s just very different over here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Considering Gillette Stadium is the only other NFL building Milton has worked in, it\u2019s clear he wasn\u2019t thrilled with his rookie experience in Foxboro.<\/p>\n<p>Milton was third on the Patriots\u2019 quarterback depth chart behind veteran Jacoby Brissett and fellow rookie Drake Maye. The sixth-rounder didn\u2019t play until Week 18 vs. the Buffalo Bills, when he completed 22 of his 29 passes for 241 yards and a touchdown while rushing for a TD in a surprising 23-16 win.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Three months later, Milton was shipped to Dallas in a move he says he wanted to happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDefinitely, I preferred it,\u201d Milton said. \u201cThat was something me and my team put together. They were able to get it done, I really didn\u2019t have to do much or say much. So just shout out to my agent, that\u2019s pretty much it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The deal made sense for both sides. The Patriots have seemingly found their franchise quarterback in Maye, so Milton would have been stuck backing up a QB younger than him. In Dallas, he\u2019ll get to learn under a three-time Pro Bowl QB in Prescott, and he\u2019ll likely be the next man up if the veteran goes down.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the Patriots\u2019 QB room consists of Maye, Joshua Dobbs, and Ben Wooldridge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joe Milton throws shade at Patriots while praising Dak Prescott originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston It doesn\u2019t&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":236875,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2050],"tags":[11811,53,1370,257,833,7,7523,5894,9538,1167,249,2326,2094,6,208,2854],"class_list":{"0":"post-236874","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-england-patriots","8":"tag-ben-wooldridge","9":"tag-buffalo-bills","10":"tag-dak-prescott","11":"tag-dallas-cowboys","12":"tag-drake-maye","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-jacoby-brissett","15":"tag-joe-milton","16":"tag-joshua-dobbs","17":"tag-new-england","18":"tag-new-england-patriots","19":"tag-newengland","20":"tag-newenglandpatriots","21":"tag-nfl","22":"tag-patriots","23":"tag-the-patriots"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114917938614710197","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236874","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236874"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236874\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236875"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236874"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236874"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
