On paper, the Seahawks look like they stole Jadeveon Clowney from the Texans. In Saturday’s trade, Seattle sent linebackers Jacob Martin and Barkevious Mingo and a future third-round pick for Clowney. Mingo will get paid $4 million for being a special teams players really. Martin is all potential at this point. And Seattle had two picks in the third round on 2020. The question is how good Clowney will be in Seattle?
Clowney is a talented player, of course, but he has yet to put up a double-digit sack season. He still gets pressure on opposing quarterbacks frequently, however, and he will only be helped by Seattle having Ziggy Ansah on the other end of the defensive line.
