Milton turned heads during the lead-up to the 2024 NFL draft with his incredibly powerful arm. The Patriots selected the former Tennessee signal-caller in the sixth round after drafting Maye with the No. 3 overall pick.

Milton, who saw limited playing time in 2024 behind starter Drake Maye and backup Jacoby Brissett, wants to start anew elsewhere, with a source telling Mass Live the former Tennessee product “would prefer to be on a roster that best gives him a chance to compete for the starting job.”

The New England Patriots have received multiple trade inquiries for quarterback Joe Milton III, per Mark Daniels of MassLive.
