The franchise-tagged Clark has agreed to a new five-year, $105.5million contract with $63.5m guaranteed, according to Schefter.
Seahawks agreed to trade their franchise player, DE Frank Clark, to the Kansas City Chiefs for a 2019 first-round pick, a 2020 second-round pick and an exchange of third-round picks this year, per league sources.

The Chiefs last month traded standout defensive end Dee Ford to the San Francisco 49ers for a second-round pick next year.
Clark was selected by the Seahawks in the second round of the 2015 draft and was reportedly due to earn $17m on the franchise tag this season.
The 25-year-old notched a career-high 13 sacks in 2018, his most productive season to date.
