Vikings Trade Sam Howell to Eagles, Sign Carson Wentz as Backup
In a surprising move, the Minnesota Vikings have traded quarterback Sam Howell to the Philadelphia Eagles and signed veteran quarterback Carson Wentz to serve as a backup. This trade comes after a workout session where Wentz impressed the Vikings, leading to his acquisition as insurance for starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy. The Eagles, addressing their own quarterback depth concerns, welcomed Howell to bolster their roster as they navigate injuries. Both teams appear to benefit from this shakeup, with strategic moves aimed at strengthening their quarterback positions.
