FOXBOROUGH — The Patriots subtracted from their quarterback room earlier this month — trading Joe Milton III to the Cowboys in exchange for a 2025 fifth-round pick.

FOXBOROUGH - During Mike Vrabel’s pre-draft press conference, the Patriots coach addressed the Joe Milton III trade for the first time. Earlier this month, the Patriots traded the quarterback and seventh round pick (No. 217) to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a 2025 fifth-rounder (No. 171).

Why did the Patriots trade away Joe Milton for such a little return? ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss shed some light on the decision on Sunday's Sports Final.
