Former Patriots QB Shocks NFL Ahead of Super Bowl LX by Accusing Patriots of "Disrespecting" Him – Publicly Claims Drake Maye Was the Barrier Keeping Him from Staying in New England

Foxborough, Massachusetts – Former New England Patriots quarterback Joe Milton has made waves in the NFL by publicly revealing the reason he couldn't continue his career at New England. In a recent interview, Milton admitted that he felt disrespected for not being moved up to the backup position after Jacoby Brissett was replaced in 2024.

Milton stated that despite performing well in practice, Coach Jerod Mayo kept him at the number 3 spot, behind Drake Maye and Jacoby Brissett. “I showed that I was capable of being the number 2 QB, but I was never given the opportunity,” Milton shared. This left him feeling disrespected within the team.

When Brissett was replaced, Milton expected to be promoted. However, Drake Maye, who was chosen as QB1, became a major barrier. Milton did not hide his frustration. “I have a lot of respect for Drake, but I can’t spend my whole career waiting,” he said, referring to the fact that he couldn't compete for the position while Maye was firmly entrenched as QB1.

Milton was eventually traded to the Dallas Cowboys, along with a 2025 7th-round pick, in exchange for a 2025 5th-round pick. He only made one appearance for the Patriots in the 2024 season, throwing for 241 yards, 1 touchdown, and rushing for 16 yards with 1 touchdown in a win over the Buffalo Bills. Though he hasn’t been able to find his best form yet, Milton believes in his new opportunity in Dallas, where he can grow and prove himself.

In the interview, Milton confessed the reason he couldn’t stay in New England: “When Drake Maye is QB1, there’s no opportunity for me. I couldn’t live in that situation of waiting forever,” Milton shared.

Milton’s story is not just about a quarterback seeking opportunity, but also a reminder of the cutthroat competition in the NFL. From the lack of opportunity to moving to a different team, Milton has proven that a career in the NFL depends not just on ability, but also on the opportunities given.
