Speculation: Could Sam Howell be traded?

[Count Hawkula]

With the Giants and Stealers needing a QB, could a cheap QB with experience be of any value. I'd take a late round pick. Any thoughts?

Maybe? They did trade for him last year and he’s still on his rookie contract so he’s a back up in place for two more seasons at least.

If you were to trade him you’d maybe get a 6th for him, maybe fleece a team for a 5th at best. That would really show Seattle’s hand though they are most definitely drafting a QB this year.

Would anybody notice?

 

[seabowl]

We’d have to pay them to take him. Another great JS gem of a deal.

 

[Sprfunk]

Well, they could, but i prefer to keep him. He is cheap and has shown some good skill in the past. I don't fault him for his showing last year, as he was in a no win.

 

[Sol Duc]

Nah, man.

No way Jose, Howell has up side and his ceiling could be higher than Darnold. We are not trading away our QBOTF.

 

[Hawkpower]

He's nice to have as a backup

The hyperbole around him being unusable trash has become a runaway train of nonsense

Not quite "Bobo is a god" territory but close

I don't think anyone's knocking down the door to pick up Sam Howell. He's probably worth more as a continuation and backup.

To be fair it's mostly Toffe making bitter posts about Howell and JS.
Get ready for about 200 more passive aggressive posts about them over the next few weeks.

Anyone can be traded without a no-trade clause.

 

[Cyrus12]

We'd have to add higher picks to get rid of him.

Yes, good point. I guess my thought was taking a QB in the draft and letting them learn from SD. Also, seeing the slim pickings left at QB I thought a team might want a guy that has been starter and knows what to expect from defenses in the NFL.

Sam Howell probably looks pretty good in Kubiak's offense as long as the oline looks better. We got 3 really good backs to sell play action

 

[Bobblehead]

We should have added him with DK.. maybe get a 1st!

 

[toffee]

Sam Howell will outcompete Sam Darnold in camp, no doubt about it, but who will start after all that?

.NET to Sam Howell, we have your back; we are your voice.

Assuming Rodgers goes to Pittsburg, only the Giants, Browns, and Titans need a QB. 2 of the 3 will pick up Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders, which leaves only one team without a starter -- unless Tennessee rolls with Levis, e.g.

So the market for Howell as a young starter would be at most 1 team, and even then there's probably comparable options as UFA: Mac Jones, Kyle Trask, Trey Lance, Drew Lock plus a bunch of journeyman vets if they just wanted a bridge QB.

If someone comes calling, great. But us putting him out as available would pretty much guarantee we'll get nothing for him.

Howell & Bobo will lead us to the promised land, just you guys wait & see! MM & JS have a vision, Geno & DK were in the way of that vision, so they sent them packing. Now we got a plethora of draft capital to help them out and achieve the dream!
