Frank Clark

The 29-year-old has spent the past four seasons with the Chiefs and earned a Pro Bowl nod in three of those seasons.

But Clark restructured his contract, reducing his base salary to $3.7 million in a move that helped the Chiefs create $12.6 million in space. Following a disappointing 2021 season, Clark made the biggest financial sacrifice on the team to stay on the roster. In 12 postseason games with the Chiefs, Clark collected 10.5 sacks and 14 quarterback hits. One of general manager Brett Veach’s boldest moves was to acquire Clark in a blockbuster trade before the 2019 draft. Together, Clark and Jones led the Chiefs’ defense to three Super Bowl appearances and two comeback victories on the sport’s grandest stage. Without Clark, the Chiefs could try to replace his production at the position by selecting one of the top pass rushers in this year’s draft class, pairing that prospect alongside defensive end

Clark was especially menacing on the defensive side for the Chiefs during their recent Super Bowl run, adding 2.5 sacks in the postseason. By releasing him, the team instead saves $21 million on the cap (with $7.7 million in dead money). In four seasons since being traded from the Seattle Seahawks, Clark has rounded into all-star form.

Frank Clark earned three Pro Bowl selections and was a postseason standout during his four years with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Clark and Brown were two key starters on Kansas City's Super Bowl 57 team. His postseason production was a vital part of the Chiefs' two Super Bowl-winning campaigns, as he tallied 32 tackles and 10 ½ sacks in 12 playoff games with the Chiefs. The Chiefs and Clark were unable to come up with an agreement on a reworked contract, so the two sides have decided to go in a different direction ahead of free agency.

That’s no surprise, given that Clark’s contract called for him to get a $20.5 million base salary, with nothing guaranteed. Clark, who will turn 30 in June, had five sacks in 15 starts last season.

He was arrested in March 2021 when cops found two guns in his car after he was pulled over while riding in a vehicle with another man without a license plate. He also had three in 2021, though the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would rout the Chiefs at their home stadium thanks to some Tom Brady magic. It began in 2020 when he had five during their first run to the Super Bowl, where they defeated the San Francisco 49ers, 31-20.

Fuentes también dijeron a ESPN que no se espera que Orlando Brown reciba la designación de jugador franquicia en Kansas City.

Brown, quien cumple 27 años de edad en mayo, fue adquirido por Kansas City en un canje con los Baltimore Ravens en el 2021. Brown jugó tres campañas para los Ravens, durante las cuales fungió sobre todo como tackle derecho. Las dos partes tienen hasta el 13 de marzo para llegar a un convenio a largo plazo antes de que Brown pueda comenzar a negociar con otros clubes. Fue el tackle izquierdo titular para todos los partidos exceptuando dos en su estadía con los Chiefs. Fuentes dijeron a Adam Schefter de ESPN que el agente de Clark, Erik Burkhardt, fue incapaz de encontrar un punto medio con los Chiefs en torno a una reestructuración contractual durante varias conversaciones durante el Combinado de Talento, y la expectativa es que ahora Kansas City dejará en libertad al liniero defensivo de 29 años de edad.

I love him — love him to death.” Why release a player Reid so adores? That $29 million sum is a lot for any edge rusher, but during Clark’s time in Kansas City his regular-season production hasn’t lived up to expectations after the Chiefs traded a boatload of picks, including a first-round choice, for him and rewarded him with a five-year, $104 million contract.

Frank Clark is expected to head to the free agency market after his contract talks with the Kansas City Chiefs fell through.

Clark is going to have a decision to make after the Chiefs cut him. However, if they can make room for him, he would be an excellent fit and it would allow Clark to play for another contender. The Bears are another team that could be in play to sign Clark. They also hold the number one pick in the draft and will likely trade down to acquire more capital. Clark has proven that he can make plays when it matters most and would be a great veteran presence in the locker room, and can become a team’s top pass rusher. The Colts have many decisions to make this offseason.

He caught a lot of hate but Frank Clark is a Chiefs legend.” He’s been a part of some great things for this franchise. Adds so much in the postseason on the field and is good for at least two classic postgame interviews a year. “Big game Frank,” a fan wrote on Reddit.

Those who keep track of players coming and goings in the NFL — a task that might require a specialized degree — may want to cast an eye toward Kansas City where the Chiefs and defensive end Frank Clark are at a contract impasse.

Clark racked up 10.5 postseason sacks for Kansas City during his four seasons with the team.

Clark recorded 2.5 sacks in three games during this most recent postseason run, dropping Cincinnati Bengals' quarterback Joe Burrow on each of the Bengals' first two possessions in the AFC Championship Game. Clark went on to make those dreams a reality during his four seasons in Kansas City, leading the Chiefs to three conference titles and two Super Bowl championships. In fact, protecting a four-point lead in the game's final minutes, Clark sacked San Francisco 49ers' quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo on fourth down to flip possession back to Kansas City. He then went on to sack Tennessee Titans' quarterback Ryan Tannehill on the final defensive snap of the AFC Championship Game the following week, and in the most critical moments of Super Bowl LIV, Clark once again made his presence felt. He was never complacent, and that attitude helped the Chiefs' historically young defense win Super Bowl LVII this past February. He racked up three sacks in his first playoff game with the Chiefs, which included a take-down of Houston Texans' quarterback Deshaun Watson on the final defensive play of the game.
