The Commanders are looking for a new offensive coordinator after firing Scott Turner, and that search may be revealing a key part of their 2023 offseason. CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones reports Washington is telling coordinator candidates that the team plans on Sam Howell entering the offseason as the “likely” starting quarterback in 2023.
Washington drafted Howell in the fifth round of the 2022 draft out of North Carolina, but the quarterback sat for most of the season. He only played in one game this year, Washington’s week 18 victory over the Cowboys, in which Howell threw for 169 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
In three years as a starter for North Carolina, Howell accumulated 10,283 yards passing, 92 touchdowns and 23 interceptions in 37 games.
