The Seattle Seahawks made a significant move on Thursday, trading third- and fifth-round picks in exchange for former Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell, as well as a fourth- and sixth-round pick. Originally drafted in the fifth round back in 2022, Howell was the starter in Washington in 2023, but a new coaching staff and new ownership group is ready to rebuild and likely will take a quarterback at the top of this year’s draft.
Howell’s arrival means the Seahawks once again have two QBs on the roster after Drew Lock left in free agency for the New York Giants.
