Sources: Patriots trade QB Joe Milton III to Cowboys​

FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys' search for a backup quarterback to Dak Prescott has landed on Joe Milton III.

The Cowboys acquired Milton and a 2025 seventh-round pick (No. 217) from the New England Patriotsfor a 2025 fifth-round pick (No. 171), sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Talks between the clubs started a few weeks ago and escalated this week during the NFL's annual meeting at The Breakers resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

The Cowboys' need for a backup rose after Cooper Rush signed a two-year deal with the Baltimore Ravensthat guaranteed him $4.2 million. Earlier in free agency, the Cowboys targeted Jacoby Brissett, per sources, but he signed with the Arizona Cardinals. The Cowboys were also looking at Drew Lock, who spent last year with the New York Giants.

Source: Raiders, QB Geno Smith reach two-year, $75M extension​

The Las Vegas Raiders have agreed to a two-year, $75 million extension with quarterback Geno Smith, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The contract has incentives that could push the total to $85.5 million and includes $66.5 million in guaranteed money, the source said.

Smith, acquired by the Raiders in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks earlier this offseason, is now under contract with Las Vegas for the next three seasons.

The Raiders had said earlier this week at the NFL's annual meeting that they were working on an extension for Smith.

Las Vegas traded a 2025 third-round pick to the Seahawks for Smith, who had one year and $31 million left on the $75 million contract he signed with Seattle in 2023.

Smith, 34, threw for a career-high 4,320 yards last season, completing 70.4% of his pass attempts while throwing for 21 touchdowns with 15 interceptions. He has thrown for 19,143 yards with 105 touchdowns and 72 interceptions in 11 seasons.

Think that's a hell of a deal for the Cowboys. Dude's huge, with a huge arm and really athletic and helped the Pats win a game this season.

This was a great interview!

This coach loves Justin Fields. For the first time in his short NFL career, it seems that Justin Fields finally has a HC and front office that’s willing to pay invest in him as a quarterback, and build an offense around him.

I now feel that I was wrong wanting Justin to stay in Pittsburgh because I thought it was his best chance at success. The posters that felt the Jets were the best spot for him, appear to be correct.

Justin's best games were usually vs. the Lions. Win or lose.

Sources: Trey Lance, Chargers reach 1-year deal worth up to $6.2M​

Quarterback Trey Lance reached agreement on a one-year deal worth up to $6.2 million with the Los Angeles Chargers. sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday.

Lance and Taylor Heinicke are now the backups behind Chargers starter Justin Herbert.

The No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 draft by the San Francisco 49ers, Lance remains something of a mystery after four seasons in the league.

There is no mystery. He sucks

There is no mystery. He sucks

Not saying you’re wrong, but his career arc has been strange. Early injury. He’s only started in 5 games. He’s only appeared in like what…12 games? Drafted in 2021.

Again, not disagreeing with you but sometimes guys need a whole lot more than 5 starts to pull it all together.

But what an awful draft pick that was.

Lol, buying into the offseason hype as usual.
