Pitt could consider it?
I wouldn't mind if Minn picked him up. (one year trial/depth like Dan Jones was)
He'd be a much better backup for Chargers, Broncos, Texans, etc playoff teams than what they have?
He could compete to start for Colts or Titans ...probably a few other teams too.

I can't imagine the price would be any more than maybe a 6th rd pick (likely a 6th for a 7th or something).
It's one of weakest QB drafts in recent memory, so I'd think Howell would have at least a bit of interest post-draft.

Sam is only 24 yrs old and was not amazing for Washington, but he showed flashes. He makes teams a threat to win... more than you can say for a lot of young QBs that just sit there and take sacks. He kinda looked like a young Favre or Rivers (many INTs, but slinging it and giving his team a chance). Unless he's way out of shape or something, I'd imagine he gets a chance to contribute somewhere. We'll see.
Sam Howell future is in the UFL or CFL.
