Milton has been great so far, but he will be over 30 when Dak retires or leaves.
You don’t rebuild with a 30+ year old QB who doesn’t have starting experience.
He is clearly the best backup QB, but our future after Dak is much more likely to be a 22-23 year old we bring in a little down the road. Milton himself, if capable, deserves a better fate than backing up Dak for the next 3-4 years, and the Cowboys are not likely to give him a veteran contract as a backup.
If someone offers a 2nd round pick or a starter at a position of need, I’m taking it and going with Howell as the vet backup.
