Howell signed as backup competition; training camp battle with Milton for QB2 role.

The Cowboys signed free agent Sam Howell to compete with Joe Milton III for the backup quarterback role during training camp. JJ Zachariason frames this as the team hedging its bets after Milton's disappointing 2025 performance, allowing Dallas to choose "between the lesser of two evils after a good old training camp battle." Howell came with his own baggage but provided insurance against Milton's continued struggles.
