Clowney in Seattle … reactions from around

Ian Rapoport@RapSheet
This is a preferred location for Clowney and he’ll sign his tag.

Jason La Canfora@JasonLaCanfora
Expectation among other GMs who have explored acquiring Clowney from the Texans is that he will be dealt to the Seahawks. Seattle has had success in recent past with disgruntled Texans. Could be another huge pick-up for the Hawks

Aaron Wilson@AaronWilson_NFL
Seahawks have extra 2020 second-round draft pick from Frank Clark trade along with center Justin Britt, offensive tackle Germaine Ifedi as they discuss trade with Texans regarding Jadeveon Clowney

Mike Clay@MikeClayNFL
This defense badly needs playmakers, so adding Clowney opposite Ziggy Ansah would be big.

Brandon Thorn@BrandonThornNFL
Clowney is SUCH an Eagles/Seahawks player: Insanely athletic, explosive personified, versatile, and physical. I’d be ecstatic to see him in either defensive system.

Jay Glazer@JayGlazer
Scoopage: SEA & HOU have agreed to trade parameters re: Jadeveon Clowney contingent upon Clowney & other players involved passing physicals. Still lot of moving parts but believed Clowney, who rejected going to Miami at first, is headed for his physical with Hawks. @NFLONFOX

Los Angeles Rams UK@LARams_UK
Clowney to the Seahawks is not the best news I’ve ever received.

Albert Breer@AlbertBreer
Trade terms, per sources …

Seahawks get: DE Jadeveon Clowney

Texans get: 2020 third-round pick, DE/OLB Barkevious Mingo, LB Jacob Martin

Mike Garafolo@MikeGarafolo
Clowney had leverage as long as he didn’t sign. When he didn’t show after the 3rd preseason game, as Houston had expected, no one there knew his plan. Clowney’s saying privately he’d even miss games surely prodded the Texans to make the deal they could. Clowney played this well.

Barry Jackson@flasportsbuzz
To make this clear from 2 people with direct knowledge: Dolphins asked for 2 very high picks and Clowney to consider trading Tunsil. Houston was moving in that direction but Clowney refusal to come to Miami scuttled that.

D’Marco Farr@DMarcoFarr1
Clowney + Carroll + Ken Norton jr = oh shit!

Brian T. Smith@ChronBrianSmith
Clowney and Watt together never really worked out for #Texans. Was supposed to change team in 2014. Injuries, setbacks, disappointment. Texans never consistently got the best out of both of them together.

Joe Thomas@joethomas73
@clownejd has 53 “Run Stuffs” (tackles made on run plays resulting in no gain or loss) since 2016- Only
@LukeKuechly has more (55) in that spanThat’s impressive company and @Seahawks should be feeling very good today.

Seems like correct compensation for a player who;
1) is a terrific run defender (top 5 in NFL imho)
2) very good pass rusher (but not top 5)
3) going to have to sign him to a $20mm/yr long term deal
4) w/ history of knee cartilage issues (1 of few health issues not “fixable”)
