Jerry Jones Confirms $130 Million Deal: “Joe Milton is Here to Stay”.
In a surprising turn of events, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has confirmed a massive $130 million deal to retain quarterback Joe Milton, making it clear the franchise sees him as a central piece of its future. The statement, delivered during a press conference at The Star in Frisco, has sent shockwaves through the league as the Cowboys double down on their commitment to the young signal-caller.
“Joe Milton is here to stay,” Jones declared. “We believe in his talent, his growth, and his ability to lead this team. This deal reflects our confidence in what he can become.”
Milton, known for his rocket arm and athletic upside, joined the Cowboys as a developmental quarterback but has quickly risen through the ranks. After showing flashes of brilliance during preseason and stepping up when injuries hit the quarterback room late last season, Milton earned the trust of the coaching staff and front office alike.
The new deal reportedly spans five years and includes significant guaranteed money, incentives based on performance, and a structure that allows cap flexibility. For Milton, the contract represents a major vote of confidence and a massive leap from backup to potential franchise quarterback.
While critics question whether Milton has proven enough to justify such a lucrative contract, the Cowboys’ leadership remains unfazed. Head coach Mike McCarthy echoed Jones’ sentiments, praising Milton’s work ethic and upside.
“This kid is just getting started,” McCarthy said. “He’s got tools you can’t teach. We’re going to put him in the best position to succeed.”
The $130 million deal marks a bold move by Dallas, signaling a possible shift in the team’s offensive future. As expectations rise, all eyes will be on Milton to see if he can rise to the occasion and become the Cowboys’ next star.
