After spending his first five seasons as a member of the Houston Texans, defensive end/outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney is on the move. On Saturday, it was announced that he would become the newest member of the Seattle Seahawks defense.
Trade terms, per sources ...

Seahawks get: DE Jadeveon Clowney
Texans get: 2020 third-round pick, DE/OLB Barkevious Mingo, LB Jacob Martin
As a result, Russell Wilson expressed his gratitude in comical fashion.
Me: So you telling me you’re not chasing me anymore? @ClowneJD : “Nah bro...all other QBs”

All of a sudden, Seattle’s front seven looks like the best in the NFL.
Seattle's front seven is now led by:
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) August 31, 2019
* Bobby Wagner: 4x All Pro
* Jadeveon Clowney: 3x Pro Bowl
* K.J. Wright: 4 100+ tackle seasons
* Jarran Reed: 10.5 sacks in 2018
* L.J. Collier: 2019 1st round pick
* Ziggy Ansah: 48 career sacks
The three-time Pro Bowler recorded 47 tackles, nine sacks, three fumble recoveries and a forced fumble in 15 regular-season games in 2018.
It remains to be seen whether or not Clowney will play a full snap count for the Seahawks (-9.5) at home in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
