The New Orleans Saints should consider trading for New England Patriots quarterback Joe Milton III, an intriguing prospect, as they prepare for potential quarterback shortages in the upcoming NFL draft. Current options in New Orleans include veteran Derek Carr and young players like Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener. Milton’s performance in the last game of the season, completing 76% of his passes with two touchdowns, has made him a standout trade candidate.

Milton, still on a rookie contract, offers a strategic backup plan for the Saints, especially with Carr likely entering his final season. The potential deal could involve a fourth-round pick for Milton, aligning with the Saints' aim to bolster their quarterback depth while maintaining draft capital for other needs.
