Frank Clark to the Chiefs for a 1st and 2020 2nd

[panthers55]

Clark got  a 5 year 105 million dollar deal with 65 million guaranteed.  Wow!!!!! Glad we didn't jump on that one.

One of the best pass rushers in the game for pick 28 and a late second next year.  KC made out.

Not sure paying someone 21 million and they aren't a QB is making out. That is crazy money. What happens when Mahomes gets his 5th year option for 25 million. That is almost 50 million for 2 players.

I mean how much are Kalil+KK making?

That’s the market not the players. Even if KC stays the same they’re competing for a trophy. The Panthers are not.

I’d rather have Clark and Mahomes for what they’re paying them than what we have for less.

How will Clark play AFTER getting paid is really wants going to determine whether this was a good move or not.

OBJ is one hell of a player. All NY got was 17 pick and an average safety. Seattle robbed KC. 

Late first this year and probably a late second next year. Doesn't seem like a crazy haul to me

Not really. Mack went for two #1s. He has 34 sacks over the past three seasons. Clark went for a #1 and a future #2 and he has 32 sacks over the same time frame.

Not a bad way to put it.

Andy always makes a GREAT move and follows it with a terrible one.

Beyond dumb to trade away Ford and do this deal.

Aren't they switching to a 4-3, they probably didn't want to pay a guy who doesn't fit their jew direction. And Clarks better with a higher ceiling

Ford could have easily added 20 lbs and been a 4-3 DE, plus he would have been cheaper and they keep the 1st AND 2nd. Not to mention all the off-field risk and Ford had none of that too. KC traded Ford, a first, and extra millions for Clark.

Kalil isn't on the team and KK cap hit is 17 million. Clark is now the highest paid defensive linemen so that wasn't the market until he set it. And who wouldn't want Mahomes on a rookie deal. But when the 5th year option is due and Clark's contract is backloaded  that will be a ton of money for 2 players. Secondly we have as good a chance as KC to compete for the playoffs this year. As long as Cam is healthy we can go 11-5 or 12-4 this year. This offense is loaded and under Rivera the defense is going to be much improved 

So yeah we don't know how hard Clark will play but I expect his best not worse. I understand that KC is all in at this point and this makes sense for them. I am glad we didn't get in the sweepstakes. 21 million a year for a DE. It wasn't 5 years ago that was a lot for a quarterback.
