Commanders send QB Sam Howell to Seahawks in pick swap, per report

The Washington Commanders are dealing Sam Howell, their starting quarterback last season, to the Seattle Seahawks in a pick swap, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Seahawks will reportedly get Howell, a fourth-round pick in the NFL Draft (No. 102) and a sixth (No. 179). The Commanders are reportedly set to receive a third-rounder (No. 78) and a fifth (No. 152).

Howell was selected by the Commanders in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. The former Tarheel started in one game for Washington during the 2022 season, a 26-6 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17.

Last offseason, as the Commanders touted a new era, they selected Howell as their starter over veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett. It was an expected move as the team moved on from Carson Wentz and Taylor Heinicke. But by Week 17 of the 2023 campaign, Howell was announced to have been benched for Brissett. That decision didn't last long, however, as Brissett sustained an injury before he could play and Howell regained his role.
