Final Thoughts
Do I think it’s possible the Kansas City Chiefs trade for Frank Clark? Of course, it’s not overly crazy and could work very well for the Chiefs. I’m not sure it will happen or if it can be figured out, but to that part, we’ll see what happens.

Recent additions Alex Okafor and Emmanuel Ogbah are nice depth/strong side type lineman, but a player like Clark would be a nice pass rushing type end the Chiefs currently don’t have on their roster.
Biggest question is, for a young player that can get after the passer and fits into what the Seahawks do on defense, why are they looking to move him? Why is he available?
If Seattle is willing to move him, if they don’t want him, so why should the Chiefs? I don’t have the answers obviously, but the basic premise of the discussion begins with that question.

If the Seahawks are looking to move Clark simply to move his money because of the Russell Wilson deal, that gives the Chiefs leverage. If they are looking to move the player, that would give me great pause, especially with a monster, massive contract extension needing to get done.
This is going to be more complicated than we’d initially anticipate.
