NFL Draft 2024 Rumors: Seahawks 'High on' Sam Howell After Trade Amid Penix Jr. Buzz

The Seattle Seahawks could decide not to draft a quarterback this week because they are "high on" former Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell as a backup for Geno Smith, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

"Macdonald and the Seahawks feel they have invested in their future at the position with a player who already has game experience," Schefter wrote. "Bypassing a quarterback also would be consistent with Seattle and continue an odd trend for the franchise."

The Seahawks traded for Howell in March after he threw 21 touchdowns and 21 interceptions in 17 starts for the Commanders last season.
