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.

Clark's combination of athleticism and power make him really, really tough to deal with in the run game. Relentless as well. pic.twitter.com/9Hir1AOoHp
Frank Clark made 12 of his 35 career sacks against NFC West opponents, while also collecting 13 tackles for loss and 29 quarterback hits against the other three teams in the division.
The Rams saw the best of the pass rusher as Clark had six sacks, six tackles for loss, 13 tackles, seven quarterback hits and an interception in eight career games against them.
Not surprisingly, the Rams are celebrating the Seahawks trade of Clark to the Chiefs.
“You mean, am I going to be sad not to see him twice a year? Heck no,” Rams coach Sean McVay said at the team’s pre-draft news conference. “He’s a great player. I think there’s a lot of things that go into that. He is a very good football player, and I will not be upset having to worry about seeing him. There’s a lot of really good players that they have in Seattle, but Frank was a special one. He’ll do a great job in Kansas City and that’s why he earned the deal.”
Rams General Manager Les Snead pointed out, though, that the Seahawks now hold choices 21 and 29 and could get a replacement.
“I’ve got a gut feeling they’re going to pick one of those players we deemed ‘unrealistic’ to us, so there may be a new player,” Snead said. [Reply]

Fuller is okay, Breeland....throw some dice, and beyond that we really need to find a diamond in the rough. We could use a 2008 Brandon Carr right about now.
LBs? No. I have concerns that make my testicles shrink into bb sized remnants of their prior impressive massiveness. I'll probably feel that way until we drown Ragland in a vat of Kirsten Stewart's menopausal discharge.
DBs? I see hope there, to be honest. I mean, think about it ... Breeland, Fuller, Ward, Wade, Smith, Mathieu, Lucas, etc., etc. ...
We have some building blocks there. Better than "quasi", IMHO. That's all I'm saying.

Clarks history is that he is not fucking Derrick Thomas. Ford led the league in Forced fumbles, and was top 10 in sacks. And you give that away PLUS a 1st round pick for a similar caliber player? :-) [Reply]
Not yet but in my defense I've been stuck on this play where he gets a strip sack by throwing the left tackle into the quarterback. pic.twitter.com/piAvXJCjEE

Yeah, this isn't Bret Veach you're dealing with. Market says otherwise, but I'll cut your cost down to a 1st and 4th to help ease your mind a bit. Carolina's on hold, what's it going to be? [Reply]

They held out and not a lot of teams were jumping on the market for a future second round pick. In what fantasy do you think they were going to leverage one team bidding agaisnt themselves for a 1+4?
The reality is teams don't think Dee Ford is nearly as good as you do. Any questions? [Reply]
