The Washington Commanders trade QB Sam Howell to the Seattle Seahawks

The news just broke that the Washington Commanders are trading QB Sam Howell to the Seattle Seahawks. The two teams will trade picks and Howell as Washington moves on from their starter from last season.

Sam Howell was a 5th round pick in 2022 and started the season finale after Carson Wentz's flameout. He won that game, and won the QB "competition" with Jacoby Brissett. He started all 17 games last year, but was benched multiple times after his play continued to regress down the final stretch of the season.

The Washington Commanders ended the season with a 4-13 record that "won" them the #2 overall pick in this year's draft.
