I do not think they are the same. I also do not think that Clark is a 1st round pick and 20 million dollars better than Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patman Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 The seahawks should be on the phone to Nick Perry and Ansah. Both will be cheap short team deals. Tre Boston sounds good also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody will make an offer and the Texans would be wise to take it. Well they would be wise if they can get and 1st and a 3rd that is for sure.

ttitansfan4life Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I wasn’t aware Clark was some elite pass-rusher. My god what are the chiefs doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerNacho Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Yeah I gotta agree with most people that trading Ford then trading for Clark is weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_palooka Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I get that the draft is a good time. But fans reeealllly over value draft picks. Chiefs give up #29 and a low 2 next year for a 25 year old pass rusher who is a proven commodity and people are saying they overpaid? The value on draft picks has become out of control with the popularity of the draft. To me this looks like a move that can tip the scales on defense for KC and get them to a Superbowl. I'll give up a late 1 and 2 for that all day. Frank is a baller. KC got better today on defense than they would have Thursday with those picks.

Disagree with the bolded, its has nothing to do with the popularity of the draft and has everything to do with the rookie wage scale. The only thing better than talent, is young cheap talent. I also think GMs across the league are placing a large value on draft picks, its why literally everyone in this draft is looking to trade down. basically all 32 teams are looking to trade down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly why the Seahawks made this trade. Saved money on a huge contract to Clark and then saved more money by having more players on rookie contracts. It is the way forward if you want to have a chance of maintaining quality on your roster, and stay potentially competitive. On a separate but related issue, QB salaries will have to be controlled at some point, as teams can not continue to have their salary cap hamstrung by one player.

Thelonebillsfan Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 So they let Dee Ford walk to end up taking a loss. Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mizter_Clean10 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Chiefs: make a move Almost everyone: Stupid I’m not saying every move they make is good, but the theme is always they make horrible moves. All the while they went from the 1st overall pick in 2013 draft to being a play away from the Super Bowl in 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Imagine being able to pay a good edge rusher. He's on your team. Writing a big check wouldn't be a problem. Now imagine ditching him and trading high picks to pay someone else a ****load of money instead. 😂 Ford and draft picks >>>>>> Clark and no draft picks.

There should be a separate cap for QBs or something. It would be cool of their were more strong teams around the best QBs. It would be interesting if you could get 1 player not to count against your cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
