The New England Patriots have traded quarterback Joe Milton III to the Dallas Cowboys, reportedly fulfilling Milton's request out of respect for him. Despite having a better offer from another team, the Patriots opted to send him to Dallas, where he expressed a desire to play. The move has left many Patriots fans surprised, as Milton, a second-year player, was expected to bring in a more significant return, especially given the team's rebuilding phase and the importance of the upcoming NFL draft.

This decision raises questions about the Patriots' strategy going forward. With their current roster needs and the potential value at stake, fans are left wondering if management is making the right calls during this critical time for the franchise.
