NFL Media's Tom Pelissero reported on Sunday morning that following the trade of Sam Howell to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Vikings were signing free agent passer Carson Wentz. The signing comes less than 24 hours after Wentz worked out for the team which fueled speculation that they were unhappy with their quarterback room.

Carson Wentz is back in the NFL and Sam Howell is on the move again. The Minnesota Vikings have signed Wentz to back up quarterback J.J. McCarthy and traded Howell to the Philadelphia Eagles. The reigning Super Bowl champion Eagles are sending a 2026 fifth-round pick and 2027 seventh-rounder to Minnesota for Howell and a 2027 sixth-rounder.

Sam Howell is on the move once again, as the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles agreed to a trade that sends the fourth-year quarterback to Philly along with a sixth round pick, with the Eagles sending a fifth and seventh rounder in return.
