On August 24, Minnesota Vikings’ practice squad quarterback Sam Howell and a 2026 sixth-round pick were traded to the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 seventh-round pick–long story short: Sam Howell is now an Eagle! In view of this good news, his girlfriend Chloe Barbu shared two snapshots on her Instagram story. One with a caption: “See you soon📍Philly!” and another with a caption: “& go birds🦅.” What were the two snapshots? Let’s find out!
Sam Howell's girlfriend Chloe Barbu shares two Instagram snapshots documenting her departure from Minnesota for PhiladelphiaA running trend of taking mirror selfies with suitcases and pre-travel attire, already popular among the NHL WAGs, has now caught on with NFL WAGs.
The newest Philadelphia Eagles WAG, Chloe Barbu, shared two snapshots on her Instagram story.
One was a mirror selfie of the cute, casually clothed couple–Sam Howell and Chloe–in their apartment.
Howell wore a casual gray T-shirt with black trousers, while Barbu chose an all-black look featuring an oversized T-shirt and loose-fitting track pants.
Howell’s spiked, brownish-blonde hair was neatly arranged over his forehead, contrasting with Barbu’s wavy, brownish-blonde hair, which was left down.
In the picture, Howell drops a kiss on Chloe’s forehead as she shows off her phone’s glittery silver back cover.
But something else was brighter than that! Chloe’s smile on getting kissed by Sam!
A third shiny item was also visible in the snapshot: a ring on her ring finger! Chloe captioned the story: “See you soon📍Philly!”
Chloe was pouting as they both showed a victory sign.
This gesture symbolized their acceptance of the life-altering circumstance: moving from the Minnesota Vikings’ practice squad to the Philadelphia Eagles’ roster.
Chloe captioned the story: “& go birds🦅.”
NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported,
“Eagles QB Tanner McKee suffered a fractured thumb, per The Insiders, that will bring his availability for Week 1 into question.
Not a major injury for the clear-cut No. 2, as it’s just the top of the thumb. The Sam Howell trade likely would’ve happened anyway.”
Howell may serve as the backup quarterback for Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys on opening night, September 5. McKee may resume his role as No. 2 quarterback once he comes back.
