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.

I LOVE it! Time to get some excitement on the defense again! [Reply]

Especially when it's beyond clear that if you take the guy for whom you just 'overpaid' and insert him into the AFCCG as Ford's replacement, we probably win the Super Bowl. We're so close and can't regress on defense because of a lack of talent. This is exactly when you go more aggressive and potentially overpay to get guys who fit the scheme. [Reply]

It's not a bad trade. It's just not.
you weren't getting this level of play from #29. to get an elite player, you were going to have to give something up, and a #2 in next year's draft is 'capital'. No big deal. You also gained 8 spots in round 3 THIS year.
Seattle just paid the shit out of Russell Wilson. They needed to clear space.
Clark is a dominant, elite level DE.

I will support the player because it is the right thing to do.
But unless Veach's draft picks start hitting and fairly quick-like, I'm done with him. I don't understand how a person can be THIS shitty in free agency. He can't gather compensation worth a ****, but he doles it out as if there were unlimited cap room. Does he fancy himself THAT good of a contract negotiator, that he can structure everyone to avoid overlap so that we can keep the players we need to keep?
Maybe. Maybe that's the ONE thing he's good at? I don't know.
But so far, he hasn't been that impressive on his own. Getting Honey Badger when your cap purse is full of money is one thing, but grabbing a quasi-elite pass rusher and paying him 63 guaranteed when you barely have a LB or CB corps is not something I would count as being "great management".
I'm done being lenient and understanding with this GM. I'm done defending him and backing him. And he gets ZERO free rides for being a scout that saw a great QB. That shit is done and gone.
The honeymoon is over.
You are done being lenient. Whew, thank the lord for that. At least we now know that some blowhard on CP is no longer going to be lenient with Veach. I'll sleep much better tonight. [Reply]

reading around on reddit and other sites, the general consensus among Seahawk fans seem to be that they love Clark and will miss him, but are happy with the compensation that they got and aren't paying a $105 mill contract. [Reply]

You're forgetting Fuller in there as well. One of the better slot corners out there. Agree they need to draft a CB early to start the process of getting the next one here to take their spot next year. [Reply]
