Sam Howell: Sam Howell Signs a One-Year Deal with Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys have signed quarterback Sam Howell to a one-year contract, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Howell's journey around the NFC East continues; the former UNC product has already spent time with the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles, and he also made two appearances with the Seattle Seahawks in 2024. That 2024 campaign was the last time Howell saw game action, and at this point in his career, he's more of a steady backup option than a potential NFL starter. That explains why he's heading to Dallas, where he'll compete for the No. 2 quarterback job alongside Joe Milton III (and behind Dak Prescott). Howell's 26 total touchdowns in 2023 revealed his encouraging upside, but he also had 21 interceptions that year, pointing to some real turnover concerns. Fantasy managers should leave him on waivers in all leagues (including dynasty formats) as long as Prescott remains healthy.
