The Seahawks GM discusses the Sam Howell trade and what it means for Seattle’s QB room.
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.
So the Seahawks have their backup, but why Howell? Schneider brought up his 300+ yard, two-touchdown performance against the Seahawks last November, and noted their interest in him since he was at North Carolina. The other storyline here is Drew Lock, whose one-year contract with the Giants is worth up to $5 million. According to Schneider, the Giants persuaded him by saying he’d have a chance to compete with Daniel Jones for the starting job.
