The #Seahawks are deep in talks to acquire franchise player Jadeveon Clowney from the #Texans, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. Clowney has told people he wants to be in Seattle. Still some hoops to jump through, but it’s headed toward him getting his wish.

 

[FB94]

Hopefully the seachickens pay a ransom for him and then have to use a good percent of cap space to sign him. Bad news short term for us, but hopefully the beginning of the end long term for Seattle

 

[b8rtm8nn]

Good for him, glad he was able to hold his leverage and not end up in Miami. Be fun watching him chase K1

 

[football karma]

has to be a one year rental

they had Frank Clark at the same position, but traded him

end up paying for Clowney, but likely wont be able to keep him long term

 

[DVontel]

Ugh.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Ugh.

Well....would have been better just to keep Clark.

 

[DVontel]

Well....would have been better just to keep Clark.

No it wouldn’t have. Clowney is better than Clark.

To top it off, he’s going to a 4-3, where he’ll thrive more versus a 3-4.

 

[TJ]

Sounds like Seattle isn’t giving much for him and is about to fleece Houston.

This is what a well-run front office looks like with no dysfunction. Take notes, Mikey and Keim

Maybe.

Clowney is maybe the most talented college pass rusher I've ever seen, but he has never put it all together.

There is the possibility of Seattle acquiring the best defensive lineman they have had in the Carroll era.

 

[DVontel]

Houston has a worse FO than us.

 

[Krangodnzr]

3rd round pick and two blah players. Wow.

Sometimes nothing IS better than something.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Want to see something funny? Find HS tape of Clowney. He just demolished everyone he played over in Rock Hill, SC.

Link?

 

[Solar7]

I didn't want him here, but this is awful.

 

[DVontel]

I cannot think of a WORSE trade than this in the past 20 years.

 

[Lagerfilled]

I cannot think of a WORSE trade than this in the past 20 years.

Seahawks only gave up a little because they have to pay Clowney big for one season and won’t be able to sign him long term. Not unexpected!

 

[Krangodnzr]

Antonio Brown trade was worse because Brown is a hall of famer.

Clowney has had a lot of injury issues

 

[Krangodnzr]

He had injury issues his first year, but hasn't missed too many games the last 3 years.

 

[Son of RedRage]

Texans got robbed.

 

[ARZCardinals]

DJ Humphries is gonna p his pants a little upon hearing this news

Hey Keim! Where were u at? Couldn’t u have given 2 no names and a 3rd for the most dominant ROLB in the NFL?
Dummy

STH y’alls season tickets just became a little more worthless

 

[Finito]

Maybe.

He’s been pretty damn good, he just suffers from unreal expectations. He’s a pro bowl player year in and year out

He also plays DE in a 3-4. We should know more than anyone after watching CC for years you can dominate and disrupt a game without it showing up in the stat sheet. Not a lot of glory there. Going back to a 4-3 should really let him shine

 

[Finito]

Clowney has had a lot of injury issues

Not outside his first year. You really don’t like him huh.

Boy, you people are looking for every & absolutely anything to blame Keim. I’m not even a fan, but seeing constant complaining like he’s your GF that cheated on you for stuff he can’t even control is annoying. Clowney didn’t want to go to a team that was rebuilding, hence Dolphins, he wanted to go to a contender, hence Seahawks.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Houston tried to trade him for more to the Dolphins and he refused the trade. Its an awful trade but I can't blame Keim since Clowney called all the shots here.
