Sam Howell is on the move once again, as the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles reportedly agreed to a trade that sends the fourth-year quarterback to Philly along with a sixth round pick, with the Eagles sending a fifth and seventh rounder in return, per Ian Rapoport

The move opened up a quarterback spot on the Vikings roster, which they filled quickly by reportedly signing Carson Wentz to serve as a backup to J.J. McCarthy and provide a veteran presence in the QB room, according to Rapoport

The former No. 2 overall pick of the Eagles, Wentz spent seven seasons as a starter in the NFL before shifting into a backup role. Wentz spent the 2024 season behind Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City after a year as Matthew Stafford’s backup in Los Angeles, but will now shift into more of a mentor role in Minnesota for the second-year QB out of Michigan, who missed all of his rookie season with an injury. 

Howell, meanwhile, moves back to the NFC East after starting his career in Washington before spending a season in Seattle and this preseason in Minnesota. He joins Tanner McKee in the Philly quarterback room as the backups to Jalen Hurts, as Philadelphia saw last year’s backup, Kenny Pickett, sign with the Browns
