Report: Rams ‘wanted Sam Howell badly’ but got outbid by Seahawks (ramswire)

“A Day 3 pick-swap isn’t exactly a high price to pay, so if the Rams really did want him that badly, they should’ve been able to get something done.

Howell started all 17 games for the Commanders last year, leading the NFL with 612 pass attempts and 21 interceptions. He did have 21 touchdown passes and completed 63.4% of his passes, but he struggled with turnovers.

Still only 23 years old, Howell would’ve been a good, young quarterback to bring in, but the Rams missed out and will now hope Stetson Bennett can show some signs of being a potential successor behind Stafford.”

Rams tried to make a trade for this NFC starting quarterback during free agency, but they got outbid

“During a recent interview on the Puck Sports podcast, Mike Garafolo of NFL Media revealed that the Rams were targeting former Commanders quarterback Sam Howell and that the coaching staff wanted him “badly,” but they didn’t get him because the Seahawks were willing to pay more.

“The [Seahawk] outbid the Rams, who I know that there was a strong feeling on the Rams coaching staff that they wanted Sam Howell badly,” Garafolo told host Jason Puckett. “They really liked him, so the Seahawks were able to outbid them. So that’s good, you got him and you also kept him away from a team that really could have used him as a potential successor.”
