The Seattle Seahawks have traded quarterback Sam Howell to the Minnesota Vikings, the team announced Saturday.
The Seahawks and Vikings switched fifth-round picks as part of the deal, with No. 142 going to Seattle and No. 172 heading to Minnesota. Seattle selected Notre Dame defensive lineman Rylie Mills with the 142nd pick.
Howell will have a chance battle for backup to J.J. McCarthy.
This is Howell’s third team in the last four years, and he is in the last year of his rookie contract. The 24-year-old only played two games last year, and was QB2 behind Geno Smith.
The Seahawks signed former Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold to a three-year, $100.5-million deal in March. Seattle also selected Jalen Milroe in the third round of the NFL draft Friday, as well as bringing back Drew Lock on a smaller deal.
