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.

Kansas City gave up No. 29, a 2020 second round pick and a third round pick swap for Frank Clark.

For perspective Chicago gave up No. 24, a 2020 first round pick and a 2020 third rounder for Khalil Mack and a 2020 second round pick.

It's expensive, but who at #29 were they gonna get that comes close to the impact domestic assault-er Frank Clark is gonna give?

Had they not traded away Ford, they wouldn't have had to worry about it.

They didn't want to pay Ford.
They do want to pay Clark (who, admittedly, is better but comes with a fuckton of baggage).

Clark dealt to Chiefs, has $105.5M deal

The Kansas City Chiefs added a significant piece to their defensive rebuild on Tuesday by trading a pair of draft picks to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for defensive end Frank Clark, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Clark, who had yet to sign the $17.128 million franchise tag given to him by the Seahawks, has agreed to a five-year, $105.5 million deal that includes $63.5 million guaranteed, sources told Schefter.

The Chiefs parted with their first-round draft choice, which is 29th overall, and the teams will exchange third-round picks, sources told ESPN. The Chiefs also will send the lower of their two 2020 second-round draft picks to the Seahawks, sources told ESPN.

"I feel like I'm good. I wanted to be somewhere where I'm wanted, where I'm appreciated," Clark told ESPN's Josina Anderson on Tuesday. "I thank God that K.C. came in and showed that. ... In life, you just want to be shown that you are appreciated sometimes, and I feel like this was one of those things."

Now that an agreement on a long-term deal is in place, Clark will fly to Kansas City to take a physical and finalize the trade, sources told ESPN. The agreement with Clark would eclipse the five-year, $105 million deal -- but not the $65 million guaranteed -- given to DeMarcus Lawrence by the Dallas Cowboys earlier this month.

It'll be interesting to see how Clark's contract fits with the Chiefs when its time to extend Mahomes.
