Joe Milton’s Starting Ambition, Questionable Fit With Mike Vrabel Led To Trade

While the Patriots have Drake Maye entrenched as their franchise QB moving forward, it was still a bit surprising when the organization decided to quickly move on from fellow 2024 draft pick Joe Milton. The sixth-round pick had a standout performance during New England’s season finale, and he was still locked into his rookie pact for another three years.

Mike Giardi of Boston Sports Journal provided some insight on the move (via Bill Jones of CBS Sports Texas), noting that the Patriots were wary of another Mac Jones/Bailey Zappe situation. Milton believes he’s a future starter in the NFL, and the organization didn’t want the QB to be a locker room distraction. While the player’s ambition is obviously admirable, there was apparent concern that he could cause some disruption with no clear path to future playing time.

Perhaps more importantly, Milton wasn’t a Mike Vrabel pick, and Giardi opines that the new head coach never would have saddled himself with two rookie signal callers. The executive who made that pick, Eliot Wolf, it still leading the front office, but Giardi said there should be no confusion about who’s truly running the show. Maye also wasn’t a “Vrabel pick,” but the Milton trade signaled to the former third-overall pick that he’s the clear-cut guy in New England.

Milton’s lone NFL appearance led to one of the Patriots’ only wins in 2024 (while also hurting the team’s draft standing in the process). Milton played the majority of the snaps at QB during the season finale, completing 22 of his 29 pass attempts for 241 yards and a touchdown. The rookie also added another touchdown on the ground.

The Patriots quickly settled on their 2025 QB hierarchy, as the team added Josh Dobbs as a clear QB2 behind Maye. The Patriots later traded Milton to Dallas, with New England only receiving the ability to move up 46 draft spots late in the draft. With the Cowboys, Milton still won’t have a clear path to playing time behind Dak Prescott and the star’s lucrative contract. However, Dak’s injury history and age do provide somewhat more hope for Milton’s playing chances.

OL Notes: Conerly, Commanders, Dolphins, Patriots, Seahawks, Bears, Giants, Rams

As OTAs near, teams will begin evaluations regarding roles for rookie offensive linemen — and potential veteran relocations stemming from draft decisions. A couple of changes figure to come out of the CommandersJosh Conerly Jr. draft choice. The Browns and Texans attempted to trade up for Conerly, but the Commanders ended up with the two-year Oregon left tackle starter at No. 29. Washington GM Adam Peters said (via ESPN.com’s John Keim) Conerly could play tackle or guard as a rookie.

Washington, which let Cornelius Lucas walk in free agency (to Cleveland), had already planned to move primary 2024 LT Brandon Coleman to RT before the draft. Two-year RT starter Andrew Wylie accepted a pay cut this offseason, and his past as a guard could become relevant again. Wylie has only played RT over the past four seasons, but the ex-Chief worked almost exclusively at guard from 2018-20. Wylie and potentially Coleman could be in the guard mix if Conerly stays at tackle opposite new LT Laremy Tunsil. The Commanders have ex-Chief Nick Allegretti at LG and a rehabbing Sam Cosmi at RG; the latter’s spot obviously will not be in jeopardy once he recovers from his January ACL tear, but he will not be a lock to avoid the PUP list to open the season.

Here is the latest from O-lines around the league:

2026 NFL Fifth-Year Option Tracker

NFL teams have until May 1 to officially pick up fifth-year options on 2022 first-rounders. The 2020 CBA revamped the option structure and made them fully guaranteed, rather than guaranteed for injury only. Meanwhile, fifth-year option salaries are now determined by a blend of performance- and usage-based benchmarks:

  • Two-time Pro Bowlers (excluding alternates) will earn the same as their position’s franchise tag
  • One-time Pro Bowlers will earn the equivalent of the transition tag
  • Players who achieve any of the following will receive the average of the third-20th-highest salaries at their position:
    • At least a 75% snap rate in two of their first three seasons
    • A 75% snap average across all three seasons
    • At least 50% in each of first three seasons
  • Players who do not hit any of those benchmarks will receive the average of the third-25th top salaries at their position

We covered how last year’s Pro Bowl invites affected the 2022 first-round class. With the deadline looming, we will use the space below to track all the 2026 option decisions from around the league:

Patriots To Decline G Cole Strange’s Fifth-Year Option

The Patriots’ Cole Strange pick generated scrutiny at the time for being a reach, and the young guard has yet to justify his first-round selection. New England will now shift Strange into a contract year.

As expected, Strange will not see his fifth-year option exercised, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports. That would have brought a $16.69MM fully guaranteed 2026 salary, making it essentially a non-starter for the Pats.

Teams have less than 24 hours to make their fifth-year option calls, which has brought a flurry of updates on this front Wednesday. But Strange’s never appeared in doubt. He missed seven games in 2023 and 14 last season. A patellar tendon tear ended Strange’s sophomore season, and he did not return until December 2024. The Pats activated Strange from the reserve/PUP list in early December but did not give him an offensive snap until Week 17 more than two weeks later.

New England did, however, reinstall Strange as a starter — at center — to close last season. The pre-draft plan had been for the Chattanooga product to enter the offseason as a starter (back at left guard) as well. While that may still be a go, New England drafted Georgia interior O-lineman Jared Wilson in Round 3. Wilson is listed as a center, but a quicker path to the starting lineup may be at guard, where Strange has proven unreliable. The Pats signed Garrett Bradbury shortly after his Vikings release.

The Pats traded down from No. 22 (via the Chiefs, who climbed up for Trent McDuffie) in 2022, landing on Strange at 30 in Bill Belichick‘s penultimate draft running the team. Strange was not mocked as a first-rounder that year, but he started 17 games at left guard for the ’22 Pats. With the Morgan Moses signing set to entrench Michael Onwenu at right guard, the team will carry a left guard question into training camp.

For now, however, Strange will aim to prove he can hold down the gig. Doing so would put him on a path to free agency, though the Patriots will retain exclusive negotiating rights with the soon-to-be 27-year-old blocker until the 2026 legal tampering period. Strange has plenty to prove between now and then, but with the guard market taking off in free agency, he could secure a nice payday by staying healthy in 2025.

Minor NFL Transactions: 4/29/25

Tuesday’s minor transactions from across the NFL:

Arizona Cardinals

Detroit Lions

Green Bay Packers

Houston Texans

Jacksonville Jaguars

  • Received roster exemption (international player): WR Louis Rees-Zammit

New Orleans Saints

Seattle Seahawks

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tennessee Titans

A fifth-round pick out of BYU, Hall was part of a three-quarterback solutions to a season-ending Kirk Cousins injury in 2023. Alongside Nick Mullens and Joshua Dobbs, Hall started two of three game appearances for Minnesota as a rookie, only attempting 20 passes in that time. After trading for Sam Howell to back up J.J. McCarthy, in addition to retaining Brett Rypien and signing undrafted Golden Gophers quarterback Max Brosmer, Hall became the odd man out.

Patriots Release LS Joe Cardona

The Patriots have now cut ties with every player who had been part of their Super Bowl core. After moving on from Jonathan Jones, David Andrews and Deatrich Wise earlier this offseason, the team is parting ways with its long snapper from the second leg of its dynasty.

New England released Joe Cardona on Tuesday. This came after the Pats used a seventh-round pick on a deep snapper Saturday. Cardona had been with the Pats for 10 seasons. He entered the offseason tied with Andrews as the team’s longest-tenured player, but a Pats draft move changed his course.

Although the team obtained the Mr. Irrelevant pick, that did not go to Cardona’s replacement. Instead, the Pats chose Vanderbilt’s Julian Ashby six spots earlier. The only team to use a draft choice specifically on a long snapper this year, the Patriots served notice Cardona’s time could be up. Rather than a competition, Cardona will have a chance to catch on elsewhere soon.

The light workload long snappers consume keeps their salaries in the NFL basement, but it also allows for long careers. Cardona’s experience certainly should put him in line for consideration elsewhere, even as he has spent his entire career in Foxborough. Bill Belichick used a fifth-round pick on Cardona in 2015, choosing him 166th overall out of Navy. He teamed with Stephen Gostkowski during the Adam Vinatieri successor’s final stretch in New England and collected two Super Bowl rings, playing in three Super Bowls in total.

Cardona signed three Patriots contracts, inking two four-year deals as a veteran. Two seasons remained on Cardona’s third New England accord — a four-year, $6.3MM pact — but the Patriots will incur only $500K in dead money from this release. While no Pro Bowls are on Cardona’s resume, it would surprise if the 33-year-old snapper did not resurface for an 11th NFL season elsewhere.

The Pats lost Jones and Wise to the Commanders in free agency, while the team cut Andrews after he missed most of last season. Although the most memorable chapter in Patriots history effectively closed when Belichick was forced out (four years after Tom Brady‘s exit changed the franchise’s trajectory), the team officially wrapped it by moving on from the above-referenced quartet of Super Bowl contributors this year.

Minor NFL Transactions: 4/28/25

Here are Monday’s minor moves:

Carolina Panthers

  • Claimed (from Raiders): CB M.J. Devonshire
  • Signed: LB Mapalo Mwansa (International Pathway Program)

Green Bay Packers

New England Patriots

The Raiders’ Tom Telesco-led regime chose Devonshire in last year’s seventh round. After seeing no game action as a rookie, Devonshire will vie for a roster spot with the Panthers. Three seasons remain on Devonshire’s rookie contract.

Ricci saw extensive action for the Panthers from 2021-23, starting four games in that span. He caught eight passes for 100 yards in 2022. The Colts used a sixth-round pick on Leo in 2023; he played in four Pats games last season.
