Reports: Texans trading Clowney to Seahawks

The Houston Texans are trading holdout pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney to the Seattle Seahawks, according to multiple reports Saturday.

In exchange, the Texans will receive a third-round draft pick in 2020 and linebackers Barkevious Mingo and Jacob Martin. All players involved must pass physicals before the deal is final.

The news comes one day after the Dolphins reportedly rejected the Texans’ offer of Clowney and a first-round pick for left tackle Laremy Tunsil.

Clowney, 26, refused to sign his franchise tender with the Texans and has skipped all of training camp and the preseason.

Clowney was reportedly in Seattle on Saturday and will sign his tender. It could be just a one-year rental for the Seahawks, as Clowney cannot sign an extension until after the 2019 season.



The No. 1 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft out of South Carolina, Clowney has flashed his edge-rushing skills after being limited by injuries at the start of his pro career. He had 9.5 sacks in 2017 while starting every game, and he posted nine sacks last season while appearing in 15 games (14 starts). He has 21 quarterback hits in each of the past two years.

Clowney has 29 sacks over the past four seasons and has earned Pro Bowl nods in each of the past three years.

Mingo, 28, has 198 tackles and 10 sacks in 94 games with the Browns (2013-15), Patriots (2016), Colts (2017) and Seahawks (2018). The Browns selected him sixth overall in the 2013 NFL Draft.

Martin, 23, was Seattle’s sixth-round pick in 2018 and registered nine tackles and three sacks in 16 games as a rookie.
