Cowboys quarterback takes swipe at former teammates as he embraces fresh start
Milton spoke glowingly about his new Cowboys teammates and took a swipe at the Patriots' locker room in the process. New England selected Milton in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, and he was in a quarterback room with Drake Maye and Jacoby Brissett last season. Jerod Mayo was the head coach for the Patriots last season.
"Dak is a great leader. All respect to him. He literally goes out of his way to help me, no matter if the coach is talking in the meeting, he literally goes out of his way to help. I've been in another building. I know how that goes. It's just very different over here," Milton said on Friday, via The Athletic.
He said he "preferred" to have a fresh start somewhere new.
"That was something me and my team put together. They were able to get it done, I really didn't have to do much or say much. So just shout out to my agent, that's pretty much it."
Milton only appeared in one game for the Patriots last season.
He was 22-of-29 with 241 passing yards and one touchdown pass. He's considered to have massive potential, should he ever get a shot at becoming a starter in the NFL.
Milton is projected to be the backup quarterback heading into the regular season behind Prescott. Will Grier is slotted at QB3.
Prescott will look to stay healthy for Dallas. He only managed to play in eight games in 2024.

'The players are very excited' - Arteta on Gyokeres arrival
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says it "has been a long journey" to sign striker Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon but everyone is now "very excited" that he is here. The 27-year-old was unveiled before the Gunners 3-2 win over Newcastle in Singapore, having gone straight from the airport to the stadium. As he has not yet trained with his new team-mates, and has not properly trained since Sporting won the Primeira Liga title in May, Arteta is yet to confirm whether the striker will be available for their game against Tottenham in Hong Kong on Thursday. "We are super happy to have Viktor with us," said Arteta. "It's been a long journey to get him over here. "He's been incredible. He was very clear from the beginning where he wanted to play and that passion I felt from him from day one when we first spoke. "You can see the boys [are] very excited with his arrival. "I don't think he has had a single training session with the team since the last game with Sporting when they became champions. So we will assess him. "He's done all the medicals and everything is looking good, but getting him up to speed with the right levels of fitness is very important. "So we're not going to stop him. We want him with us as quick as possible, but we'll have to assess and the medical team will do that."

Roma to Finalize Wesley Coup with an Assist from Milan
Wesley landed in Italy on Sunday morning to take the medicals ahead of his Roma switch. The Giallorossi had been focusing on him all summer long and eventually persuaded Flamengo. According to Sky, the capital club will shell out €25M plus €5M add-ons. They had struck a deal a while back, but the counterparty wanted to secure a quality replacement first. It's Emerson Royal, who had fallen out of favor at Milan. They pipped Besiktas at the post with a €9M bid. The Rossoneri had paid €15M to add him from Tottenham a year ago. He was the starter for half a season, then he sustained a serious calf injury and never re-entered the rotation. New Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini already wanted Wesley at Atalanta. The fullback has totaled 6 goals and 7 assists in 152 matches with Flamengo. He has two caps with Brazil. Unlike Richard Rios, who transferred to Benfica, he was determined to move only to the Giallorossi. La Lupa is also closing in on Verona's Daniele Ghilardi for about €10M plus bonuses. Their manager continues to ask to act hastily in the transfer market. Next on their agenda is an attacker who could play on the left side of their frontline. The most recent options are Igor Paixao and Fabio Silva, but the search is ongoing. Our Take on Roma and Wesley They had to pay a good chunk of change and be very patient, but it's always positive to land a primary target in an area of need. He's not much of a scorer or a big presence in the box like other wing-backs coached by Gasperini, but the tactician evidently believes in his potential and that he'll be a threat nonetheless.
