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.
810 reporting rumors that it will be a mega-deal in the $100M+ neighborhood. No injury history and low tread on the tires (snapcount) are pluses. But he's going to have to be a STUD to justify everything the Chiefs are giving up. If he and Jones stay healthy, they're going to be a nightmare for opposing o-lines. [Reply]
Seems high. However, there is no argument Clark is a big upgrade over Ford and Houston. It seems doubtful the Chiefs would be able to draft the same production with what they are giving up.
The Chiefs have indeed agreed to a deal in principle with Seattle for Frank Clark, I’m told. I expect any new deal the Chiefs agree to with Clark to be similar DeMarcus Lawrence’s with the Cowboys.
Also... Keep in mind, we could have traded up well into the top 20 by giving up a second round pick. And spent $20-25m less. This guy needs to be a dpoy. [Reply]
For comparison's sake – Dee Ford put up just 1 season of 56 or more pressures (2018) and had only 1 season (also 2018) with a higher overall grade than Frank Clark's career-low overall grade of 66.1.
We also picked up the first pick in the 3rd round this year. Which is only a few picks away from what our 2nd would have been. I don't think this is as bad as you're making it out to be. I still say they make a play at Patrick Peterson as well. All we need is a defense ranked in the teens and we are going to steamroll to the title. [Reply]

With no guarantee that guy would be half as good as Clark... [Reply]
