THE Philadelphia Eagles have recruited quarterback Sam Howell as part of a trade ahead of the new NFL season.

Howell joins the Eagles just four months after moving to the Minnesota Vikings from the Seattle Seahawks .

In response to the trade, the Vikings have snapped up free agent Carson Wentz.

Wentz backed up Patrick Mahomes at the Kansas City Chiefs last season and spent time with the Eagles at the start of his career.

As part of the trade, the Eagles have received Howell and a sixth-round pick in the 2026 NFL draft while the Vikings get a fifth-round pick in 2026 and a seventh-round pick the following year.

Howell, 24, is now set to back-up Jalen Hurts alongside Tanner McKee.

The Eagles have waived Dorian Thompson-Robinson following the deal.
