The Seattle Seahawks are no strangers to the tag-and-trade market, having acquired Jadeveon Clowney last off-season, mere months after trading Frank Clark to the Kansas City Chiefs.

With the agreement in place that the Seahawks aren’t able to use their own franchise tag on Clowney — a pending free agent — there is a very real possibility that the two-time Super Bowl champions are soon going to be back in the market for a pass-rusher.

It’s no secret that Ngakoue wants to win games, having shown his frustration with Jacksonville’s inability to sustain the momentum they had in 2017. That said, he shouldn’t have a problem with moving out west.

Thankfully for the Jaguars, if Seattle was interested in making a trade then the negotiations shouldn’t be strenuous given that the Seahawks have danced this particular tango twice before. Pete Carroll and company know the importance of a pass-rusher and Ngakoue would be a scheme fit after spending four years under a Carroll disciple in Wash.
