https://www.houstonchronicle.com/sp...n-Clowney-on-his-way-out-of-town-14376454.php ARLINGTON — I believe the Texans are going to trade outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney for an offensive tackle when he signs his franchise tender. I think coach Bill O’Brien, the de facto general manager, has a deal worked out with another team, but he can’t complete the trade until Clowney is under contract. He’s due to make $15.97 million this season after he signs the tender. “Until he decides to come in and sign his tender, the ball’s in his court relative to playing for the Texans,” O’Brien said after Saturday’s loss. “Until he signs the tender, there’s not much to talk about. I don’t have any idea of a specific date that he’ll decide if he wants to be here. “(With) any trade, you’re always looking at the value of the trade relative to your team and your future team. And sometimes in different trades you have to give up a little more to get what you want. With JD, it’s up to him when he wants to sign the tender, and then we’ll all go from there.” The Texans have talked to a lot of teams about Clowney. Miami was interested three weeks ago. Might still be. There are a lot of reports about the Texans trading Clowney to the Dolphins, but Miami would have to part with left tackle Laremy Tunsil, their best offensive player and one of the two best players on the team. There were reports Saturday the Dolphins wouldn’t trade Tunsil. He’s too valuable to their rebuild. [...] The Texans never are going to sign Clowney to a long-term contract, so they’re going to unload him for what could amount to a fire sale at this time of the year depending on whom they get in return.

https://www.profootballnetwork.com/houston-texans-jadeveon-clowney-trade-partners/ There’s been a lot of trade talks in the past few days and weeks regarding Houston Texans LB Jadeveon Clowney, and we may be coming to a conclusion. Michael Lombardi of The Athletic reported on Saturday that Clowney may be traded within the next 24-48 hours and that he’d be shocked if he wasn’t. Lombardi said there are multiple teams in the mix for Clowney, and we’ve been working to track those teams down. According to information gathered by PFN’s Tony Pauline, Cole Thompson, and Matt Cannata, we have come to understand that the Seattle Seahawks, Buffalo Bills, and Miami Dolphins have all expressed interest in acquiring Clowney’s services. There are likely others and we will update the post as we uncover these teams. One important note is that Clowney has expressed his desire to play for a contender rather than be part of a rebuild. While this doesn’t preclude a rebuilding team such as the Dolphins from acquiring him, it does present a major hurdle. To get him to agree to a long term deal, they (or other teams who are rebuilding and want Clowney) would have to sell him on their plan for the future and also would likely have to offer him more money than a contender would, such as the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle Seahawks One team mentioned as a possible landing spot if Clowney is traded are the Seahawks, a pass-rushing needy defense who traded Flank Clark before the draft. We know that Houston is looking for help at offensive tackle, wide receiver, and running back, so one could speculate that Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny could enter the conversation. Buffalo Bills The Bills have also expressed interest in acquiring Clowney. If the Bills were to complete a deal for Clowney, you would have to think that it would include RB LeSean McCoy and/or WR Zay Jones as part of the package. Miami Dolphins The Dolphins were rumored several weeks ago to be working on a Clowney trade, but there was no confirmation either way. Some reported that the Dolphins and Clowney couldn’t agree on a contract extension. But, Miami is still interested in the former first overall pick. The Dolphins, along with other teams that we haven’t been able to identify, have also expressed interest in acquiring linebacker Benardrick McKinney, but it does not appear the Texans are willing to part with him at this time.
I just don’t see the Chargers adding a guy who will cost a fortune when they still have to give a fortune to Bosa. If Clowney were to walk, Chargers get a late 3rd comp pick. Not ideal compensation for Gordon trade. https://t.co/wmI5Relka6 — Lance Zierlein (@LanceZierlein) August 26, 2019 #Redskins coach Jay Gruden reiterates that he still "very strongly" believes LT Trent Williams won’t be traded. The team has privately resisted all inquiries. Note: I’m told Williams, who has had several surgeries, is now healthy and ready to play. For someone. — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 26, 2019
But Pancakes said that the trade would happen by now. Could Pancakes have been wrong? I guess that there is a first time for everything.
