On this whirlwind NFL weekend, one transaction has made waves above the rest: The Houston Texans traded former No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney to the Seahawks for … wait for it … a third-round pick, pass rusher Barkevious Mingo and DE/OLB Jacob Martin.

• The Texans have two seasons of affordability remaining on Deshaun Watson’s rookie deal (if he doesn’t force their hand at the negotiating table sooner). J.J. Watt, who has overcome a litany of injuries, turned 30 years old this spring.
