Why NFL analyst says Sam Howell was 'dumped' to Eagles after disappointing camp

Sam Howell just landed in Philly, and the Liberty Bell already feels a little louder on a Monday morning.

The NFL offseason is a wild rollercoaster. And Howell just got whiplash. One minute, he’s battling for a backup job in Minnesota. The next, he’s packing his bags.

It’s a tough league where a couple of bad practices can send you on a cross-country trip faster than a rookie’s first endorsement deal.

Howell is now in Philadelphia. The Eagles acquired the quarterback on Sunday. And Howie Roseman sent future draft picks to the Vikings. This move shocked many analysts.
