The Philadelphia Eagles have reportedly acquired quarterback Sam Howell in a trade with the Minnesota Vikings.
Howell, who formerly played for the Eagles’ NFC East rival Washington Commanders, had only been in Minnesota since April, when he was traded by the Seattle Seahawks.
“Trade! The #Vikings are trading QB Sam Howell to the #Eagles, per me and @TomPelissero,” NFL insider Ian Rapoport posted on X, formerly Twitter.
“It’s a 5th in 2026 and 7th in 2027 to MIN, while PHI [gets] Howell and 6th in 2026. Minnesota, which recently hosted Carson Wentz on a visit, now has a QB opening. And Philly gets more QB depth.”
The Eagles’ backup quarterback, Tanner McKee, injured his finger during practice earlier in the week, calling into question his availability for Philadelphia’s season opener on Sept. 4 vs. the Dallas Cowboys.
