The Dallas Cowboys made a shocking quarterback decision, cutting Joe Milton just one day after keeping three quarterbacks on their initial 53-man roster. On this episode of Locked On Cowboys Hit, host James Duncan breaks down why Dallas waived Milton, what his impressive preseason performance means, and whether the Cowboys made the right decision by choosing running back depth over QB3. Milton finished the preseason completing 29-of-43 passes for 378 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions, making his release even more surprising. With Dak Prescott established as QB1 and Sam Howell seemingly favored as the immediate backup, Dallas ultimately chose to make room for Emari Demercado after claiming the running back off waivers. But the biggest twist is that the Cowboys reportedly want Milton back. After Milton cleared waivers, Dallas has the opportunity to bring him back on the practice squad. James breaks down whether Milton should return to Dallas, what his developmental upside means for the Cowboys, and whether the former fifth-round acquisition could find a better opportunity elsewhere with a clearer path to becoming QB2. Plus, what does this move mean for the Cowboys’ roster construction, running back depth and the future of the quarterback room?
