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.

Ford sucks at run defense and he doesn’t fit our new scheme.
Geez, his busted ass is gone and so is his fucked up back. [Reply]

Yes please!! Jones and Nandi will continue to rape. Jones and Clark raping during the pass and Nnadi clogging up the holes on run defense. Our line is legit! [Reply]

They're still YOUNG. This isn't a one year run. We're putting pieces on the board that give us a SEVERAL YEAR window. We didn't sign a bunch of 30 year old guys. We got RID of those guys.
We add a CB and maybe a LB and this is a GREAT defense.
Exactly
Anyone who is butt hurt over this deal, needs to go back and look up where the defense ranked last year. We needed to upgrade the defense to take another run at the Super bowl and we're off to a great start. This defense is going be greatly improved from the embarrassing product that was on the field last year. [Reply]

Terez just said earlier that if the Chiefs want to extend Hill they can. You can always find a way to extend a player [Reply]

I mean as it relates to 2019 and not being released due to his issue [Reply]

which is what i continuously preach on here. [Reply]
The overwhelming majority of people on CP think Clark Hunt is a complete pussy - beholden to the masses of social justice warriors - who just wants to charge more for parking, protect his brand, and make more money.
Take solace in the fact that if he thought Hill were going to be suspended for the bulk of the season and if he thought the PR brushback would've forced him to release Hill, would he have given the okay for the Clark trade? Does it really sound like Clark Hunt to so aggressively toe the line?
I'm not for a second saying Hill is definitely in the clear. But if the odds were 60/40 before, they have to be 80/20 now. And that's a huge win for the team that we should all be excited about, irrespective of your views on this trade. [Reply]
