Sam Howell is going from being the starter for all 17 games last season with Washington to likely being a backup quarterback now in Seattle. He's still competing for the starting job but seems OK with the situation he now finds himself in.
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Howell throws a pass during an NFL football practice, Wednesday, May 22, 2024, in Renton, Wash. RENTON, Wash. — Between the change in the coaching staff and a high draft pick, quarterback Sam Howell was pretty certain after last season ended, he’d no longer be in Washington even if he spent the entire year as the Commanders starting quarterback.
“In this league to be able to play, you’ve got to compete and that’s what I’m willing to do, no matter what the situation is, no matter who the starter is. If I’m the starter, I’m coming to compete every single day,” Howell said. “Geno has been great. I’ve learned a lot from Geno and he’s a great player. I have a lot of respect for him and everything he’s been through in his career.”
Howell’s trade to Seattle also included some swapping of draft picks, but the confidence the Seahawks have in what Howell can be in the short term was displayed a little more than a month ago.
