The Texans and Bill O’Brien’s blundering of Jadeveon Clowney’s contract situation seemed to bail the Seahawks out at the last moment. Seattle had traded their sack leader from 2018, Frank Clark, to the Chiefs. His replacements, Ezekiel Ansah and L.J. Collier, looked entirely uncertain. Ansah was a doubt to begin the regular season, while Collier had most of August robbed by injury. Clowney was the perfect fit for the Seahawks, a player who could come in and replicate Clark’s 2018 output.
