Cowboys' Sam Howell: Wins backup role
Howell is set to be the backup quarterback to Dak Prescott for the Cowboys' Week 1 game against the Giants.

The 25-year-old signed with the team in March after failing to have his contract extended by the Eagles during the 2025 season. The 2022 fifth-round pick by the Commanders will now start his second NFL contract with a division rival.

Cowboys' Sam Howell: Finds home in Dallas
Howell agreed to terms Tuesday on a one-year contract with the Cowboys, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The 2022 fifth-round pick showed some potential as a starter for the Commanders back in 2023, completing 63 percent of his passes for 3,946 yards, 21 touchdowns and 21 interceptions while adding 263 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. However, Howell served as a backup for the Seahawks and Eagles over the last two seasons, never touching the field on offense in 2025. Howell is poised to compete with Joe Milton for the No. 2 job behind Dak Prescott.
