The Kansas City Chiefs, Indianapolis Colts, and New York Jets are among the teams that have discussed a Frank Clark trade with the Seattle Seahawks, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Seattle is believed to be open to moving its star pass-rusher ahead of Thursday's draft, and is reportedly seeking at least a first-round pick in return.

Clark notched a career-high 13 sacks last season, but his contract demands might be too pricey for the Seahawks. The 25-year-old has yet to sign his $17.1-million franchise tag for the 2019 campaign as he pursues a long-term deal.

Kansas City is eyeing edge help after parting ways with Dee Ford and Justin Houston earlier this offseason amid a schematic switch to a 4-3 defense.

Incidentally, Houston landed with the Colts, who still have ample space under the salary cap to sign Clark to a lucrative multi-year deal. The Jets also have plenty of cap room despite spending big in free agency.

Seattle holds only four selections in the upcoming draft, the fewest of any team in the league.

Clark, a former second-round pick, posted 32 sacks while forcing seven fumbles over the last three seasons.
