The Dallas Cowboys<\/a> are just weeks away from kicking off their regular season. Right now, team owner Jerry Jones and company are in evaluation mode, trying to build the best roster possible.<\/p>\n Yet, one of the team\u2019s weaknesses is becoming more and more obvious with each game that the Cowboys play. Earlier this offseason, the Cowboys were singing backup quarterback Joe Milton\u2019s praises<\/a>. Not any more, after Milton completed 26 of 47 passes for 265 yards and a touchdown in his first two preseason performances with the team.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Milton\u2019s inconsistent performances now have the team possibly reconsidering their quarterback depth chart. Dak Prescott<\/a> is the unquestioned starter, but Milton was supposed to be the primary backup after the Cowboys traded a fifth-round pick for the former sixth-round pick in April. Thirty-year-old journeyman Will Grier is the only other quarterback on the Cowboys\u2019 roster.<\/p>\n However, Pro Football Talk\u2019s Mike Florio<\/a> is now urging the Cowboys to make a move for a new backup to Prescott. Considering how important it is for all playoff contenders to have a QB ready to step in at a moment\u2019s notice, the Cowboys may want to evaluate all their options.<\/p>\n Yet, Florio\u2019s suggestion is a bit wild. He believes Dallas should call the New York Giants<\/a> about trading for their already announced starter, Russell Wilson<\/a>. Florio\u2019s reasoning ties into the strong preseason performances from first-round rookie Jaxson Dart<\/a>, who\u2019s completed 26 of 35 passes for 291 yards and two touchdowns thus far.<\/p>\n It\u2019s likely only a matter of time before the Giants install Dart as the long-term starter, but it likely won\u2019t happen before the regular season kicks off. After all, they likely want to give Wilson, a former Super Bowl winner, every chance to succeed before considering alternative options. However, the Giants do also have Jameis Winston<\/a>, and he could already be on the trade block.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Other options Florio suggests for the Cowboys include Kenny Pickett<\/a> and Joe Flacco<\/a> from the Cleveland Browns<\/a>. Or perhaps Sam Howell<\/a> from the Minnesota Vikings<\/a>. Ultimately, the best solution for the Cowboys may be to wait and see which quarterbacks end up on the chopping block once rosters are trimmed down from 90 to 53 players.<\/p>\n
