It seems as if the supposed Seattle Seahawks backup quarterback competitors between Drew Lock and Sam Howell as indicated by common supervisor John Schneider could not, certainly, ever materialize.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Brady Henderson reported on Friday night time that the Seahawks are open to buying and selling Howell, one week after bringing again Lock on a two-year deal price $5 million. Howell is coming into the ultimate yr of his rookie contract and it doesn’t matter whether or not the Seahawks commerce or lower him since his $1.1 million wage is non-guaranteed.
Seattle acquired Howell from the Washington Commanders final season, giving up third- and fifth-rounders and receiving fourth- and sixth-rounders in draft decide swaps. Introduced in to again Geno Smith up after one very pass-heavy season with Washington, Howell was 5-of-14 for twenty-four yards and an interception in prolonged motion towards the Inexperienced Bay Packers instead of the injured Smith. Other than a handoff towards the Atlanta Falcons whereas Smith handled a watch poke, that was Howell’s solely taking part in time in Seattle.
With Sam Darnold set to be Seattle’s starter and Lock again within the fold (plus former BYU and Minnesota Vikings QB Jaren Corridor), Howell’s future with the crew was just about on shaky floor the minute Lock returned.
There’s zero likelihood the Seahawks get commerce compensation that appears remotely just like what they gave as much as get him, Howell’s age (24) and prior beginning expertise apart. It’s nonetheless very attainable that he will get launched, nevertheless it could be price a shot to see if any crew in search of a possible starter or a high quality backup will decide up the cellphone and make a deal.
