Joe Milton to Eagles Active Roster

[Flamma]

You don't know the rules. They are free agents and can sign with whoever they want.

Dude, just look up how to protect a practice squad player. This is easy. Cowboys could have kept him if they wanted to. They didn't because he sucks!!

 

[Reality]

Schotty is panicing.....more changes, lol

Will be funny if they release him right after the Cowboys game ...

 

[EPL0c0]

I don't blame Joe Milton for taking up the opportunity

What player is content to sit on the PS?

and... if Hurts is out for an extended period of time, I think Milton is probably a better fit for their offense than Tanner McKee

 

[starfan1]

Watch this dude become all pro.j/k

 

[Praxit]

....wow.. are they going straight with Milton? The backup up there is not good enough?

 

[eromeopolk]

This can't get funnier. Your back up QB is a former deadskin from D.C. and the player you traded for is about to start for the Eagles. All you need is for the Giants to sign Mazi Smith.

 

[OGSixshooter]

I hate this. We could be 2-3 with Joe Milton. Oh well...the Eagles roster moves vs the Cowboys? LOL...let's see how this goes.

 

[DZSierra]

Either we are incredibly stupid or we have overpaid yet again.

When it comes to making money as the most valued sports team in the world, Jerry is the best and smartest.

When it comes to putting a football team together from coaches on down, our GM is stupid.

 

[EPL0c0]

Him and Blue are there future lol

Saquon Barkley has the hamstring issue
Tank Bigsby is on IR
Will Shipley tore his plantar fasciitis

Curious if Jaydon Blue gets a shot to play sooner than later

 

[Starforever]

He's not being signed for his QB skills. Classic move to get someone who knows the Cowboys playbook....

Why do they need him for the rest playbook? It hasn’t worked for them and I’m sure the Eagles don’t need it.

 

[Starforever]

As long as he doesn’t play against Dallas. If so, it will jumpstart his career. Dallas makes the bad good and the good elite.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

We will get him back in a few weeks when they're done using him as a tackling dummy for the defense to practice on

Dude, do that yourself. It is up to the player not the team.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Another wasted draft pick....

It was a pick swap. Gave up a 6 and got a 7 last year.

 

[KingCorcoran]

This can't get funnier. Your back up QB is a former deadskin from D.C. and the player you traded for is about to start for the Eagles. All you need is for the Giants to sign Mazi Smith.

Milton is probably the best the Eagles could get without giving up any draft capital. Not knowing when Hurts will return not having a quarterback with any experience backing up McKee isn’t prudent. Milton will remain the emergency QB when Hurts returns and they’ll drop the rookie QB, whatever his name is, to the practice squad.

Milton will remain on the 53 (52 in the Eagles case) for the season. Nice deal for him.

 

[ratkinson]

If Hurts can't go against the Cowboys i can see Milton getting some snaps in that game.

If nothing else, it would add yet another layer to the annual Jerry-go-round.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Now Dallas needs to sign a QB 3 for the practice squad. Maybe they just take Will Grier off the coaching staff and give him a helmet instead of a headset.

 

[DeaconMoss]

This will be rued for decades

 

[zerofill]

I think its an ego/approach thing with Milton. I remember hearing rumblings.

I could be a thousand percent wrong, but am searching for answers. Not to say he was all world, but the logic still confuses me. We traded a pick to develop a guy, who actually appeared to be developing, only to let him go regardless.

Im not saying this is a huge loss. I just don't understand what we were doing with Milton in general. If it is about intangibles, ego and such it would help to explain how little he appears to be valued in general.

If it was ego... Dak should be gone too lol.

 

[CWR]

If it was ego... Dak should be gone too lol.

Its ego playing into his approach to practice and preparation.

Dak doesn't have those type of issues.

Same type of thing which supposedly prevented our coaches from putting Malik Davis in when Pollard went down vs the 9ers.
