The Washington Commanders are just beginning their offseason, but they’re signaling their plans to prospective offensive coordinators.
After firing offensive coordinator Scott Turner last week, the Commanders have informed candidates to replace him that Sam Howell will likely be the team’s starting quarterback in 2023, sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed.
That won’t preclude Washington from exploring the quarterback market — and Howell will have to earn the job outright, sources said — but the news signifies that the 2022 fifth-rounder will at least get an opportunity to build upon his promising debut in the team’s Week 18 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
