Update:
Adam Schefter reports that the Seahawks have agreed to trade franchise DE Frank Clark to the Chiefs for a 2019 first-round pick, a 2020 second-round pick and an exchange of third-round picks this year.
Schefter adds that Clark and Chiefs now will finalize their long-term deal and he’ll obviously need to pass a physical to complete the trade.
The Chiefs will retain the higher of their two second-round picks with the lower one going to the Seahawks.
Ian Rapoport reports that the Seahawks and Chiefs are “deep in talks” on a trade for franchise DE Frank Clark.
According to Rapoport, the two teams are discussing a trade that would send Clark to the Chiefs for a first- and 2020 second-round pick while also swapping mid-round selections.
Rapoport adds that a deal is not done right now and there are “many moving parts.” However, it appears as though a trade is “inching close to becoming a reality.”
Clark would need to sign his franchise tender in order for him to be traded.
The Chiefs have been looking to replace Dee Ford with someone who would be a better fit in Steve Spagnuolo’s base defense.
Clark, 25, is a former second-round pick of the Seahawks back in 2015. He’s currently in the final year of his four-year, $3.732 million contract and set to make a base salary of $705,000 for the 2018 season.
In 2018, Clark appeared in all 16 games for the Seahawks and recorded 41 tackles, 13 sacks, an interception, three forced fumbles, two recoveries and two pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 18 overall edge defender out of 103 qualifying players.
We’ll have more regarding Clark as the news is available.
