FILE - In this Oct. 21, 2018, file photo, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Cody Kessler is sacked by Houston Texans linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (90) during the second half of an NFL football game in Jacksonville, Fla. Two people with knowledge of the deal say the Seattle Seahawks are on the verge of acquiring Clowney from the Texans. Such a move would bolster one of Seattle's biggest needs heading into the season. The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Saturday because the deal is still pending a physical and had not been completed. Seattle reportedly is sending a third-round pick and two players back to Houston. (AP Photo/Phelan M. Ebenhack, File)
