The Vikings didn't draft a quarterback on Saturday, but they did make a change to their depth chart at the position.

The Vikings have picked up a veteran backup for J.J. McCarthy. Minnesota acquired quarterback Sam Howell in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday.

However, after the Seahawks traded him to the Minnesota Vikings for a fifth-round pick swap on Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft, Howell has a chance to reinvent his career in one of the most quarterback-friendly environments in the NFL. Upon his trade to Minnesota, Howell sent an emphatic six-word message on social media.
