After finishing 29th in the NFL in sacks last season, many believe edge rusher is the Kansas City Chiefs’ biggest need.
The team currently has five defensive ends on the roster. Frank Clark and Mike Danna are the only players of those five who have played significant snaps in the NFL. Clark is the elephant in the room — one who most people believe the Chiefs will cut ties with ahead of the new league year.
K.C. can cut Clark now and save the team roughly $13 million in cap space or designate him as a post-June 1 cut and save $19.5 million. With or without Clark, the defensive end position will be a big need for the Chiefs in 2022. Let’s take a look at some free agent options that could fit with the team.
