COMMANDERS SHIP SAM HOWELL OUT OF WASHINGTON TO SEATTLE. My Reaction To Washington Commanders QB Sam Howell Traded To The Seattle Seahawks. #washingtoncommanders #httc #nfl In a move that seemed likely after they signed a veteran quarterback in free agency, the Washington Commanders traded quarterback Sam Howell and a pair of picks to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday for two higher selections in next month’s draft. Washington sent a fourth-round pick (No. 102) and a sixth-round pick (No. 179) to Seattle and received selections in the third round (No. 78) and fifth round (No. 152).
The trade gives Washington six of the top 100 selections - Nos. 2, 36, 40, 67, 78 and 100 - which will help the team continue to overhaul the roster or, should it want, try to cut another deal in the draft.
The Commanders selected Howell in the fifth round of the 2022 draft, labeling him a developmental player who needed time before stepping into a bigger role. After spending most of his rookie season sitting behind Carson Wentz and Taylor Heinicke, Howell impressed in a Week 18 win over the Dallas Cowboys and was named the starter for 2023, with Eric Bieniemy as his play-caller. #httr The arrival of General Manager Adam Peters and a new coaching staff led by Dan Quinn set in motion a complete roster overhaul that began in earnest Monday, when the NFL’s open negotiating period began. The Commanders have since agreed to terms with 14 new free agents and re-signed three of their own, all with the intent of addressing positions of need and providing veteran leadership; most of the free agent deals were for one or two years.
