The Seahawks say trading defensive end Frank Clark w

asn’t their plan this offseason Joe Montana Jersey , but plans changed when they found out how much the Chiefs were willing to offer.Seahawks General Manager John Schneider said they weren’t in a hurry to get rid of Clark, but the Chiefs’ offer of a first-round pick and a second-round pick was an offer they couldn’t refuse.“They were extremely aggressive throughout the process,” Schneider said, via our Curtis Crabtree at KJR. “We had budgeted to keep Frank. We were hoping to do the long-term deal with him. The deal in Dallas [DeMarcus Lawrence] didn’t help things. Kansas City was very aggressive and it just got to the point where we had to help the team and do what’s right for the organization.”Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said the combination of what it was going to cost to keep Clark, and what the Chiefs were offering, made the trade the right move.“Yeah we love Frank and he did a bunch of great stuff here Len Dawson Jersey ,” Carroll said. “We had every intention of doing a long-term deal with him and hoped that we could. The market just went crazy. It just went out there so far, we just couldn’t work it in so we had to make him available at the end of it. . . . We wish him the best. We loved him, we really did and hate that we couldn’t stay together. Frank had a great opportunity that we weren’t going to be able to afford him here. We love him so much that we’re happy for him in that regard.”No matter how much they love Clark, that Chiefs offer was too good to pass up. Chiefs General Manager Brett Veach announced late Thursday night that Tyreek Hill would not be with the team during offseason workouts after a recording was made public of Hill and his fiancee discussing the incident that left their son with a broken arm. About 12 hours later on Friday, the Chiefs released the same statement.The Chiefs’ follow up, which is almost word-for-word the statement that Veach read to reporters on Thursday night Mitch Morse Jersey , seems to be an attempt to buy time while they figure out what to do with Hill, the supremely talented wide receiver who should have already been on thin ice after he violently attacked his fiancee when she was pregnant with their now 3-year-old son.“We were made aware of the audio between Tyreek and Crystal,” the team’s statement said, echoing Veach’s comments. “We were made aware of this information in real time, just like the general public. We were deeply disturbed and concerned by what we heard. We have great concern for Crystal, we are greatly concerned for Tyreek Chris Jones Jersey , but our main concern is with the young child. We decided at this time and for the foreseeable future, Tyreek Hill will not take part in any team activities. We are going to gather more information, we’re going to evaluate this information, and we will make the right decision regarding Tyreek Hill.”Pressure is growing on the Chiefs not just to talk about taking the matter seriously, but to act on it by releasing Hill. Simply putting out a statement is not sufficient.
