Seattle acquired DE Jadeveon Clowney from Houston for Jacob Martin, Barkevious Mingo, and a 2020 3rd-round pick. Clowney was a short-term rental, but Seattle paid a modest package for a former #1 overall pick and three-time Pro Bowler at a premium defensive position. Houston had little leverage, and Seattle exploited it. Clowney was not a long-term Seahawk, but the cost was light for a former #1 overall pick who still affected games when healthy. The deal was a reasonable win-now swing even though it did not create sustained value. Winner: Seattle Seahawks on price, with short-term-only value.
