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.

It was always going to suck, but the improvements we're going to make with Clark are negligible. It's a transition year. We've still got question marks all over this unit, and the players who in theory should be right with the program are still going to make mental errors.
It's a bad deal.
we were a DL lined up correctly, 1 fucking stop on 3rd and long from going to the Super Bowl with one of the worst defenses in
The league. He can change that. [Reply]
WHO THE **** ARE THESE MAGICAL FREE AGENTS EVERYONE PRETENDS ARE FLOODING THE MARKET
If we spent that $20M on free agents, guess what? You'd be bitching that we spent that money when it could have been spent on free agents.
THIS IS WHAT SPENDING MONEY LOOKS LIKE.
god, this line of thinking is so ****ing irrational.
It could be one player. It could be multiple. Hell, we could have had Landon Collins + traded up to the top 20 to get an edge rusher + still had $5-10m to spare.
I thought we passed on Collins because we were being deliberate. This seems like a panic to me that the Chiefs swung at a few big free agents early but couldn't land the big fish they wanted. [Reply]

Clark also has domestic violence issues in the past. Clark Hunt wouldn’t allow for the team to have multiple players with issues. This essentially means Hill is in the clear [Reply]

Maybe not. Seems to me he's afraid to go to a draft with a full suite of picks. It would probably expose him for being a shitty GM who can't draft worth a fuck too. [Reply]

17.8m base salary this year and is almost assuredly going to announce a new contract with him soon. So all the money we just cut is going to be added back again and in the same position.
Running in place.
of course there is a new deal. You don’t pay that price for a one year rental. [Reply]
So Veach has added Mathieu, Breeland, Okafor,Wilson, Ogbah and Clark to the defense this offseason while gaining cap space and people want him fired? [Reply]

Obviously it would be contingent on him signing a long-term deal with the Chiefs. [Reply]
