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.
Chiefs and Frank Clark reached agreement on a 5 yrs, $105.5 million contract - greater total than DeMarcus Lawrence, with $63.5 million guaranteed, per source.

For this massive compensation package and a massive contract and still needing help at corner and elsewhere, now losing multiple picks... not sure I like it.
This offseason has been positive but Frank Clark might be a bridge too far
We have an interior push with Jones and Nnadi. You need an outside rush as well. Otherwise today's mobile-ish QB's will roll out.
Interior Push is great for fossils like Brady and Rivers.
Against non statues teams will expose your lack or outside rush with plays that attack the short perimeter.

This.
I’m not thrilled with the compensation, but it’s amazing how some are acting like it’s awful all around and we aren’t getting an elite 25 y/o pass rusher. [Reply]

What the fuck is Clark Hunt's deal anyway? Can he not find ANY balance in his CEO duties of this team? For years, it was nothing but choir boys and shit. Now, we're becoming the fucking Wife Beater Brigade around here, and he's just sitting in his office, waiting for the next high dollar player to get yanked off the field and sent to fucking Cleveland.

17.8m base salary this year and is almost assuredly going to announce a new contract with him soon. So all the money we just cut is going to be added back again and in the same position.
Running in place.
Except that money is being added back for a younger, better player who isn’t a liability in one phase of the game. And who also is more consistent and healthy.
The real loss there is in this year’s first round pick.

Just wish they could have gotten it done by making the compensation happen without the first-round pick. [Reply]
I'm telling you fools, this defense is going to be top 10.
I do wonder if this means Hill is less likely to get paid after this season more than anything. He may have fucked himself and they went defense with his $$. [Reply]

Can you imagine what Daly and Spags are going to do with Jones, Clark and Nnadi. I'd bet Daly had wet dreams of talent like this on the d-line when he was at NE and BB was giving him JAGs. [Reply]

I'll be interested to see what Jones gets. That's going to be crazy having $200 million tied up on the defensive line. [Reply]
