The San Francisco 49ers tackles might want to take note of a trade that just took place in the NFC West. The Houston Texans agreed to send star edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney to the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday.
Scoopage: SEA & HOU have agreed to trade parameters re: Jadeveon Clowney contingent upon Clowney & other players involved passing physicals. Still lot of moving parts but believed Clowney, who rejected going to Miami at first, is headed for his physical with Hawks. @NFLONFOX

Clowney has been selected to the last three Pro Bowls and joins a Seahawks defense that already features five-time Pro Bowl selection (2014–18), Bobby Wagner.
The Seahawks are sending a third-round draft pick and two players to the Texans in exchange for Clowney, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.

The Texans made Clowney, who played college football at South Carolina, the No. 1 overall selection in 2014. He registered 47 combined tackles, nine sacks, a pass defensed, and a forced fumble through 15 games and 14 starts with the Texans in 2018. Clowney has recorded 205 combined tackles, 29 sacks, 11 passes defensed, and five forced fumbles through his five NFL seasons.
The Texans used the franchise tag on Clowney and tried to negotiate a contract with the defensive star, but the two sides could not land on an agreement.
This is bad news for Joe Staley, Mike McGlinchey and possibly ____________ (Name of #49ers' No. 3 offensive tackle). https://t.co/wCLsCSLw8B
