Cowboys Leftovers Could Solve Jets QB2 Issues

The Dallas Cowboys have emerged as a potential source of solutions for the New York Jets’ quarterback concerns, with The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt pointing to Joe Milton and Sam Howell as offseason options. Rosenblatt noted that Howell has 18 career starts, while Milton has none, and suggested the Cowboys might prefer to keep three quarterbacks. Milton, 26 and listed at 6-foot-5, weighs 236 pounds, is in the final two years of a $4.2 million rookie contract and has appeared in five games without starting. He completed 69.8% of passes for 424 yards, with a 2-to-2 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Howell, 25, joined the Cowboys as a free agent and has appeared in 20 games with 18 starts, completing 62.6% for 645 yards and a 22-to-23 touchdown-to-interception ratio. The piece frames the Jets’ choice around whether they want upside or a veteran profile for 2026.
