Cowboys quarterback takes swipe at former teammates as he embraces fresh start

Colin Cowherd discusses Jerry Jones contemplating whether he should step down as the Dallas Cowboys GM, and what that would mean for the franchise, which hasn’t seen the NFC Championship game since 1995.

The Dallas Cowboys acquired Joe Milton from the New England Patriots in the offseason to add some more depth behind starting quarterback Dak Prescott for the 2025 season.

Milton spoke glowingly about his new Cowboys teammates and took a swipe at the Patriots’ locker room in the process.
