QB SHOWDOWN in Dallas! The Cowboys’ battle between Sam Howell and Joe Milton remains DEADLOCKED after both quarterbacks delivered strong performances against the Seattle Seahawks. On this episode of Locked On Cowboys Hit Podcast, host James Duncan breaks down the fight for QB2 behind Dak Prescott and why Michael Trigg could be forcing his way onto the Dallas Cowboys’ final 53-man roster. Sam Howell and Joe Milton produced remarkably similar results in preseason action, with both quarterbacks throwing touchdown passes to breakout wide receiver Camden Brown. Howell brings NFL starting experience and steadiness to the competition, while Milton continues to offer Dallas an exciting combination of arm strength, size, mobility and developmental upside. So how do the Cowboys separate them? Is Howell the safer option if Dak Prescott misses time, or should Dallas bet on Joe Milton’s physical tools and higher ceiling? With limited preseason opportunities remaining, every throw, decision and possession could determine who becomes the Cowboys’ QB2 for the 2026 NFL season. Meanwhile, Michael Trigg continues to SHINE. The undrafted tight end has emerged as one of the most intriguing players in Cowboys training camp and preseason action, creating another difficult roster decision for Dallas. With Jake Ferguson established atop the tight end depth chart and Luke Schoonmaker competing for his role, can Trigg become too valuable for the Cowboys to cut? Trigg’s combination of size, athleticism, versatility and vertical receiving potential gives Dallas another potential weapon. If he continues producing, the Cowboys may have to find room for him regardless of draft status. Who should win the Cowboys QB2 battle: Sam Howell or Joe Milton? Has Michael Trigg already earned his place on the 53-man roster? And which Cowboys players have the most to prove before final roster cuts?
