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 is basically Houston in his prime. Win.
Houston was injured ever since he got a new contract.
Ford had ONE good year where his back wasn't hurt.
Houston is 30 , Clark is 25.
Any draft pick we take at #29 will need a year to assimilate. Clark won't. Same with next years 2nd we traded.
We can still find good players at 61/63 to contribute now.
This was a huge move to win the SB next year.
I like it.
and in 2020, and 2021.
nobody bats and eye if we spend #29 and a 2020 #2 to move up to take a guy in the draft...who will only be a rotational player more than likely in 2019 and perhaps a starter in 2020 and really only a fully kick-ass player (with luck) in 2021.
I mean that is a reasonable trajectory. See Chris Jones.
We just skipped all that and went straight to kick-ass. And he's about to turn 26. Yeah, we had to pay him, fuck it, we cleared the cap space for a reason. [Reply]
CP Monday: Damnit what is Veach doing, we only have 1 or 2 more years with Mahomes on his rookie deal!!???! Get some defensive talent in here!!! I'm gonna die!!!!
CP Tuesday: Damnit what is Veach doing, now we have no chance to draft (insert name of unproven prospect with a coinflip's chance of making it here)? Fire Veach!!! I'm gonna die!!!!!
I think it's a REALLY good deal. Like I think most of Veach's moves this offseason have been. But I have a fully-functioning cerebral cortex, so take it with a grain of salt. [Reply]

I agree. The rotation looks really solid now.
We may see some of these guys flourish now too; Daly's a damned good coach. [Reply]
