Great scoop, although Clowney reportedly wanted Seattle and turned down other clubs.

Texans get 3rd round pick, LB Martin and PR Mingo.

Any word on the injury to Smith?

If I’m the Texans I’d rather have contract year Clowney, then the highest comp pick when he leaves than lose him right before the season for 2 Seahawks cuts and a 3rd. Now the Hawks will get that comp pick after a year of hungry Clowney

Haven’t heard about Smith... Kind of hope a better option is available after cuts anyway.

I think they'll do their best to sign him, he also has history with Duane Brown.

Yeah, Houston’s management sucks.

No brainer for Seattle. They got a 1st for Clark and Clowney replaces him for nothing

Great scoop for Seattle, I thought Smith was playing quite well until his injury, I personally am not sold on Lynch at all.

See what Schneider pulls off next.

Wilson is durable/young enough that Seattle can get away with having scrub backups for now, but eventually they'll need to draft a real QB to develop.

They could also do with Reid did in Philly and what Belichick does. Draft a QB next year and develop him even you already have a legit starter. Then if your starter is still good/healthy for the next 2-3 years, you trade away the backup QB for similar pick that you used to draft him in the first place, or sometimes an even higher pick.

He might be done in the NFL at this point.

Yeah, Lynch is absolute trash... but so is Smith IMO - zero instincts. I’d much rather have McGough back (cut by JAX) - smarter/great arm/can run. Doubt that happens, but there are definitely higher upside guys who’ll be working 9-5 jobs next week.

Hope the weekend is going well!

New blog is up, with some thoughts on the CBA situation now that the NHL has elected not to re-open and an update on Brock Boeser's journey as his father works to recover from another serious health scare.
