The Kansas City Chiefs aren't the only team happy about the trade in which they acquired star defensive lineman Frank Clark in a deal with the Seattle Seahawks. Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay is also thrilled about the move, as he will not have to deal with the dominant pass rusher anymore:
“You mean am I going to be sad not to see him twice a year? Heck no,” said McVay, according to Greg Beacham of The Associated Press.
Clark is coming off of an outstanding 2018 campaign in which he racked up 41 tackles, 13 sacks, an interception, three forced fumbles and a couple of fumble recoveries.
He was slated for free agency this offseason, but the Seahawks placed a franchise tag on him. Not wanting to play out the 2019 season on the tag, Clark asked Seattle for a long-term deal and threatened to hold out if an agreement was not reached. It was also rumored that the 25-year-old would not have re-signed with the Seahawks in free agency next offseason.
But, due to the fact that Seattle had just inked Russell Wilson to a massive extension, there was not much money left in the till for Clark, resulting in the Seahawks dealing him to the Chiefs.
In return, Seattle received a 2019 first-round draft pick and a 2020 second-rounder, which is certainly great value.
Clark, who played his collegiate football at the University of Michigan, was originally selected by the Seahawks in the second round (63rd pick overall) of the 2015 NFL Draft.
