The Seattle Seahawks are trading quarterback Sam Howell to the Minnesota Vikings, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday.
Howell now becomes the likely backup to quarterback J.J. McCarthy. The Vikings also have quarterback Brett Rypien under contract.
The trade comes after the Seahawks drafted quarterback Jalen Milroe in the third round on Friday night.
Seattle acquired Howell in a trade last March with the Washington Commanders, giving up third- and fifth-round selections in exchange for Howell and picks in the fourth and sixth rounds.
