Just getting a chance to come to Dallas and add to the secondary, a room full of playmakers, and just bring what I know in being in this league for four years to add on with DaRon Bland and everybody else in that room. Just to come in and make plays.
A 2022 fifth-round pick by the Commanders, Howell made his first career NFL start against the Cowboys during the regular season finale of his rookie campaign. That next season, the North Carolina ended up being a full-time starter for Washington. He went 4-13 in his 17 starts, completing 63.4 percent of his passes for 3,946 yards, 21 touchdowns, and a league-leading 21 interceptions.
Running back is where people might think Dallas spends, but as true fans, we know better. Over five years, the Cowboys spent about $13 million at the position, and that includes returns, depth backs, and one-year flyers. Ezekiel Elliot, Ronald Jones, Corey Clement, Rico Dowdle, and Javonte Williams. None of these deals were meant to define the offense, they were meant to fill touches.
The Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl LX champions, defeating the New England Patriots 29-13 to cap off a dominating playoff run that ended with them hoisting the Lombardi trophy for the second time in franchise history - and in familiar fashion. It was the Seahawks "Legion of Boom" defense that won Super Bowl XLVIII with a 43-8 rout of the Denver Broncos, and while the 2025 Seahawks defense doesn't have quite as cool of a nickname, they were equally impressive.
Shortly after his playing career ended, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo followed Troy Aikman into the television booth in 2017.

As good as his playing career was, even though his postseason record was less than great, Romo seemed to have found his calling.
