"The backup quarterback position behind Dak Prescott is not as locked up as you may think it is. Joe Milton, as of today, is the guy who is on the depth chart as the backup, and although his arm strength is not an issue, Milton has still never started a game, but we have seen him be erratic when he has gotten in the game, not only with the Cowboys last year but also when he was with the Pats."
"If you did catch it this summer, Dallas signed Sam Howell, and he plans to be the third string as of now, but I think the backup role is very much wide open for either of these guys. Howell clearly has the experience of Milton, but I would say neither are guys that, right now, Dallas should feel good with if Dak goes down and misses a month or something like that."
"Luke Schoonmaker and Michael Trigg will be battling for the TE2 role this summer and I will be honest, If Trigg can control the other little issues he has, I think Trigg could take this job from Luke. Trigg had 50 catches for 694 yards and six touchdowns at Baylor last season, so it is not like he is walking in as a guy who never saw the field."
The offseason brings position battles that could create drama. The backup quarterback spot behind Dak Prescott is not fully settled. Joe Milton is listed as the current backup, but he has never started an NFL game and has shown erratic play when he has appeared, including with the Cowboys and the Patriots. Sam Howell was signed to be third string, yet the backup role could still be contested. Howell has started 18 NFL games, while Milton is viewed as having higher upside. The TE2 job is also contested between Luke Schoonmaker and Michael Trigg. Trigg has production from Baylor, but maturity concerns could affect his chances.
