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.
That says a lot about how Ford is viewed around the league, too, and why the compensation for Ford was what it was, and why he agreed to a deal that was so team friendly.
Ford is an oft-injured one-trick pony best used as a 3rd down specialist. And the league knows it.

This! I could not agree more - it is the sure thing. [Reply]
I don't see how you can't be excited about this. Watch Clark play and look at the stats and listen to the experts who say he's a huge upgrade over Ford. I initially balked at the compensation a bit, too, but who the fuck really cares? This is the sort of move that a championship team makes. This is going all in for Cueto and Zobrist. The Mahomes rookie contract window is wide open and they're going to do everything it takes to fly through it.
At a minimum, Frank Clark knows which side of the neutral zone to line up on. Last year, that would have literally been enough to GO TO THE SUPER BOWL.

This is asinine.
I find it shocking that someone who calls themselves 'Titty Meat' would be a complete idiot. Stay in Mexico. Just not in Quintana Roo, because I go there a lot, and don't want you around spoiling my paradise. [Reply]
