The Seahawks acquired Howell and 2024 fourth-round and sixth-round draft picks from the Commanders on Thursday in exchange for 2024 third- and fifth-round picks,
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSISWith Howell no longer in the mix, Washington will likely use the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 Draft on a new franchise quarterback. Meanwhile, Howell, who started all 17 of the Commanders' regular-season games in 2023, fills the void created by
Drew Lock's departure in free agency and gives the Seahawks an alternative to incumbent No. 1 signal-caller
Geno Smith.
