Seattle made a splash by signing Sam Darnold to a three-year, $100.5 million contract to become their new starting quarterback, replacing Geno Smith who was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders. Then, the Seahawks brought back Drew Lock for a second stint with the team to back up Darnold.

The Seahawks are "open" to trading Howell after signing Drew Lock last week, Fowler and Henderson reported. Seattle currently has Lock, Howell and Jaren Hall rostered behind projected starter Sam Darnold.

Just over a year ago, the Seahawks were the winners of the Sam Howell sweepstakes, acquiring the former Commanders starter, a fourth- and sixth-round pick, while sending Washington a third- and fifth-rounder.
