Sources: The #Seahawks and #Chiefs are deep in talks on a trade to send star Frank Clark to KC. The compensation would include a 1st rounder, a 2020 2nd rounder and a swap of mid-rounders. To complete it, the franchise tagged player and Chiefs must hammer out a deal.

I think a lot of the decision making with respect to defensive personnel acquisitions also hinges on Spagnuolo. My intuition tells me this because I recalled in the press conference held for Tyrann Mathieu; Veach stated specifically that he had a list of safeties available to sign and asked for Spagnuolo’s input on whom he thought was the best available and he liked Mathieu. After that fact, Veach decided to pursue him. [Reply]

Yup. That's the play where he practically picked Fisher up and planted him back in Mahomes' lap.
To be fair, I've been watching some highlight videos and he seems to do that to a lot of Tackles. [Reply]

I seem to recall him saying he was the only safety without a weakness. [Reply]

Okay, that put a smile on my face. Yep, tossing Mongo around like a rag-doll while Elway downs more Scotch for his suffering is indeed a pleasant thought. I might have to rep you on this. I'll think about it.

My thought as well, Mr. FAX. All I could say was, "look at Mahomes insane timing; just throwing in to double coverage like he don't give a fuuuuuuuuuuuugh". :-) [Reply]

I just read Seth Keysor’s article about Clark on The Athletic, filled with GIFs of his best plays.
Clark has to be in that upper echelon class of edge rushers—up there with Mack, Bosa, Garrett, Lawrence, Miller... he does some freaky good shit and is a visibly smart player out there.
Another point Keysor made—he had little help in Seattle last year around him to rush the passer and was often the target of chips and double teams. With Jones here to push the pocket, he could explode for 15+ sacks. [Reply]
