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.
Howell said Thursday after the team hit the midway point of their offseason OTA practices that he was excited by the chance to join Seattle even if it meant coming to a team with an established starter already in place with Geno Smith. In just two seasons, Howell’s been through a lot himself. He went from being a 2022 fifth-round pick of the Commanders who appeared in one game as a rookie to a starter who led the league in attempts, interceptions and sacks in just his second season.
Howell threw 21 interceptions and was sacked 65 times behind an offensive line that was ravaged by injuries and poor play.
