Multiple media reported Saturday afternoon that the Minnesota Vikings had made another draft-day trade, exchanging fifth-round picks with Seattle and giving the Vikings the rights to Sam Howell. CBS Sports reported earlier in the week that General Manager John Schneider said the Seahawks have gotten calls about Howell.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Vikings got Howell for a pick swap, as they sent the No. 142 overall pick in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL draft to the Seahawks for Howell and the No. 172 overall pick in the fifth round.

After taking Jalen Milroe during the third round of the NFL Draft on Friday, the quarterback room in Seattle was starting to get a little crowded, so the Seahawks fixed that problem on Saturday by dealing away Sam Howell to the Minnesota Vikings,
