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.

he's not 85%. He's 50%. He's a liability against the run. A target.
he's a situational pass rusher in a 4-3. Anything else he's a target. [Reply]

The body of work is what we wanted.
We wanted Sutton fired.
We wanted Berry gone.
We wanted Ford gone.
We wanted Houston gone.
We wanted a good coaching staff on defense.
We wanted responsible proactive contract deals.
We wanted real tangible upgrades.
Idk what you want? Veach has done all of that, be it with Andy. This team got top level talents at DE and safety and STILL has 3 picks in the top 85 to make moves.
I’m starting to adapt htismaqe’s philosophy after last season. I get that we need to be long term, which this weekend will be all about, but I am sick and tired of failure.
50 years dude. FIFTY YEARS. I want us to go all in while we can. Doesn’t mean we aren’t preparing for the future too.
Buckle up and enjoy 2019. This will be the best season of your life.
My concern is that we're not getting what we're giving and that we may or may not have a GM that can even draft, run a board, engineer a smart trade.
I understand the talent acquisition and why it was done, and most of it I've agreed with. I've definitely agreed with the scorched earth that we lit up a few months ago. But I'm not sure that we are doing our best to continually put ourselves in the best position to succeed, and I'm not sure that our general manager is as smart or smarter than his predecessor in some areas.
In any event, I appreciate your practical approach to the conversation. Idiot cheerleaders have no place in this type of a discussion. [Reply]

Don’t like: turning Dee Ford and a first-round pick into Frank Clark and a better third-round pick. That price is a bit high.
Hate: Adding another domestic violence guy to the team. I know the Michigan stuff is in the past and he wasn’t charged and she hit him first and all of that, but that’s an awfully big risk to take on while the Tyreek Hill stuff is ongoing.
The Hate part I agree.
But remember we got likely one of the higher picks in the second round for Ford, and gave up one of the lowest in the first for Clark. In the end they might only be a few picks apart from each other. [Reply]

They obviously didn't want Ford. And with what compensation they got, the rest of the league didn't really either.
I'd have preferred to keep Ford, but it seems Clark is a pretty big upgrade. [Reply]

Quit looking at the total number and wait for the structure.
Pro tip: longer deals always have outs after 3 years. [Reply]
