When it comes to making roster changes to get their final number of players down to 53 the Houston Texans went about it in a very different way than most teams did. The Texans began the day by trading defensive pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney to the Seattle Seahawks.
The trade saw Clowney go to Seattle for a third-round pick, along with defensive players Barkevious Mingo and Jacob Martin.
Next came the Texans making a trade for running back Carlos Hyde with the Kansas City Chiefs for offensive lineman Martinas Rankin.
