HOWELL HEADS TO PHILLY

The Philadelphia Eagles acquired quarterback Sam Howell and a sixth-round draft pick in 2026 from the Minnesota Vikings for a fifth-round draft pick in 2026 and a seventh-round draft pick in 2027.

What does it give the Philadelphia Eagles
Howell is a mobile quarterback with a very erratic nature as a passer. The world champions could help him get his NFL career back on track.

What does it give the Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings decided against keeping Howell as a backup to J.J. McCarthy. So they moved him for a one-pick upgrade and a last-rounder in 2027.

Fantasy impact
For Jalen Hurts fantasy owners (only), drafting Howell might make some sense. However, there should be better options.
