However, the Hawks then signed former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milehighreport.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Denver Broncos<\/a>, Seahawks and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bigblueview.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New York Giants<\/a> quarterback Drew Lock in free agency before adding Jalen Milroe out of Alabama in the third round of the 2025 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbnation.com\/nfl-draft\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NFL Draft<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p id=\"pDSEFx\">That left the 2024 backup quarterback, Sam Howell, in an odd spot, as Seattle obviously was not about to carry four quarterbacks on the regular season roster. That conundrum was solved Saturday, though, when the Seahawks trade Howell to the Vikings in a pick swap that saw Seattle move up 30 spots in the fifth round, from 172 to 142, in exchange for Howell. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Seahawks?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@Seahawks<\/a> traded QB Sam Howell and no. 172 (5th round) to Minnesota for no. 142 (5th round).<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Seahawks PR (@seahawksPR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/seahawksPR\/status\/1916192704138252573?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 26, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Seattle Seahawks signed free agent quarterback Sam Darnold this spring after agreeing to trade the starter of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13767,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2081],"tags":[707,7,29,708,3762,233,6,15,1293,1064,238,237,261,718,709,719,5580,2635,528,3375,234],"class_list":{"0":"post-13766","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-seattle-seahawks","8":"tag-field","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-front-page","11":"tag-gulls","12":"tag-howell","13":"tag-minnesota","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-nfl-draft","16":"tag-qb","17":"tag-sam","18":"tag-seahawks","19":"tag-seattle","20":"tag-seattle-seahawks","21":"tag-seattle-seahawks-news","22":"tag-seattle-seahawks-nfl-draft","23":"tag-seattle-seahawks-offseason-news","24":"tag-seattle-seahawks-roster","25":"tag-seattleseahawks","26":"tag-to","27":"tag-trading","28":"tag-vikings"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114429595841436561","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13766","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13766"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13766\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
