Joe Milton Waived by Cowboys, Top Landing Spots for QB in NFL Free Agency

The Dallas Cowboys are moving on from one of their backup quarterbacks.

The team released Joe Milton, whom it traded for last offseason and initially made the 53-man roster. Instead, Sam Howell will now serve as Dak Prescott's backup.

ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported the news.

The former sixth-round pick is now looking for a home, and plenty of teams with a lack of quarterback depth could sign him. The Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans and New York Jets jump out as landing spots for the gunslinger.
