Sam Howell Lands Backup Role in Dallas | Dallas Cowboys News

Sam Howell’s NFL journey just took a major turn as he lands in Dallas as Dak Prescott’s backup, after being cut by the Commanders and traded through multiple teams—including Philly—where he backed up Jalen Hurts. Despite limited snaps since 2022 and no starts in over two years, his experience and recent stats (3,900+ yards, 21 TDs, 21 INTs) make him a high-risk, high-reward option for the Cowboys. With a $2.5M deal and a spot on the 53-man roster, Howell is now poised to be the NFC East’s most traveled QB—and the Cowboys’ go-to guy if Dak needs a breather or gets hurt.
