THE FULL RESULTS FROM THE SAM HOWELL TRADE BETWEEN SEAHAWKS, COMMANDERS

When the Seattle Seahawks acquired backup quarterback Sam Howell from the Washington Commanders, a total of four draft picks were swapped. Seattle gave up one of its third-rounders and a fifth-rounder to Washington, who sent the Seahawks a fourth- and sixth-round pick.

With the 2024 NFL Draft done and dusted and picks made, we can now tally what both teams got out of the trade.

Seattle used the Washington fourth-rounder to trade down with the Denver Broncos, as well as pick up a fifth-rounder and move up from the seventh round into an extra sixth-round pick. After moving from No. 102 to No. 121, John Schneider took Michigan TE AJ Barner. With the fifth-rounder they drafted cornerback Nehemiah Pritchett, and their final pick of the draft was used on Findlay’s Michael Jerrell.

Meanwhile, the Commanders turned both picks from the Seahawks into a big trade within the second round that allowed them to get an extra second-rounder from the Philadelphia Eagles. Washington moved down from No. 40, got No. 50 and 53 from Philadelphia, and used those second-rounders on Michigan cornerback Mike Sainristil and Kansas State tight end Ben Sinnott. Philadelphia and Washington also swapped fifth-round slots, with the Commanders moving down and taking former Washington Huskies safety Dominique Hampton.

Seahawks received

QB Sam Howell

TE AJ Barner (through trading Washington’s fourth-rounder)

CB Nehemiah Pritchett (through trading Washington’s fourth-rounder)

OL Sataoa Laumea (from Washington’s sixth-round pick)

OL Michael Jerrell (through trading Washington’s fourth-rounder)

Commanders received

CB Mike Sainristil (through trading Seattle’s third- and fifth-rounders)

TE Ben Sinnott (through trading Seattle’s third- and fifth-rounders)

S Dominique Hampton (through trading Seattle’s third- and fifth-rounders)

We haven’t the slightest clue how this will play out in the long-term to determine a “winner.” Getting Seattle’s third-rounder allowed Washington to pick up an extra second (without giving up its native third-round pick), while Washington’s fourth-rounder gave the Seahawks a fifth-rounder it lost in the Howell trade.

Just bookmark this as something to look back on in a few seasons. How well Howell does (say that 10 times fast) will likely shape how this trade is viewed.
