The Kansas City Chiefs have found a way to keep their most veteran pass rusher.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Chiefs have reworked the deal of DE Frank Clark. The $26.3 million cap charge for Clark this year was far too prohibitive for Kansas City, so they agree to a reworked two-year deal worth up to $36 million. Brett Veach mentioned this as an option for the team and Clark during the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine. It would have cost the Chiefs around $13.6 million in dead cap to release Clark this year, so expect his cap hit to be somewhere around that number in 2022.
Pro Bowl DE Frank Clark has re-worked his contract to stay in KC. New deal is 2 yrs/ $29m base with upside to $36m.
