Joe Milton May Be Available

[Philosophers]

Pats signed a QB today as a backup to Maye.  They may think they can do better than the 6th round pick they used.

In the Pats last game Milton was 22-29 for around 270 yards and a TD.  Kid seems to be developing.  I'd certainly inquire.  He may be better than anyone the Giants would draft at QB say with a 4th or 5th round pick.  He's mobile.  Ran a 4.62 40 at the Combine.  Tall at like 6'4" and thick.  Big arm.

Milton is definitely on the block. The patriots don't sign Josh Dobbs to a two year 8 million back up deal if you have Milton and his cheap contract already on site. Probably already have the makings of a trade depending on how the qb dominos fall.

Apparently he's not ready to start so he would replace Tommy DeVito, who is likely destined to be on the practice squad. Contrary to what his agent has claimed, there is no market for Tommy other than practice squad. With Milton at least there is upside to eventually backup the future franchise QB they draft.

Or maybe start.  He had a decent summer camp plus this final game at end of the season.  He's a project.  Has legit physical tools.

In lieu of drafting a QB?

Yes.  He's got a year of NFL learning under his belt plus you probably get him for much less than drafting a top 3 QB.

Thanks Rich for posting this.  Would love to see the Giants step up with him.  His arm is like John Elway's arm.

I love his arm, but I am troubled as to why, with that arm, he was a backup for most of his long college career.

I cannot see a project QB being a priority for a FO and HC that are on the hot seat. 

Further, why is he supposedly available?  If there is real upside there, why wouldn't the Pats keep him at a cheap cost?

Because they have Maye so trade a 6th rounder and pick up say a 3rd rounder.

This has a grasping at straws feel to it.

The Pats did sign Dobbs, for what it's worth

I can see them signing Wilson or Flacco and bringing him in behind one of them.
