Say it ain't so, Joe.

Welcome into Tom Caron's Patriots Talk podcast.

Tom Caron alongside Phil Perry.

We're going to get into the Joe Milton trade, not just the fact that a second-year

sixth-round pick got sent to the Dallas Cowboys, but what the move and the timing of it

says about the New England Patriots in totality.

Here's Mike Vrable from the owner's meetings earlier this week.

Yeah, I think Joe's did everything that they asked them to do last year.

It sounds like in conversations that he worked extremely hard.

And that's tough when you're a quarterback. Everybody wants to play.

Everybody wants to be the starter.

And that's great to have

that attitude and he was ready for his opportunity there late in the season which i commend him on

you know where that leads to we'll see as as the draft approaches or you know where joe is on

april 7th to start our offseason program but you you have to give Joe credit for being ready to go,

going from the third quarterback to being able to win that football game

and stay ready and stay hungry.

All right, Phil, it's been a hell of a week.

We've got a lot of intel from the owners meetings.

We've had access to coaches.

But this move with Joe Milton is interesting because from what I've gleaned,

the Patriots really just wanted to clear the decks for Drake May.
