Chiefs Attempting To Rework DE Frank Clark’s Deal To Keep Him In KC

According to Albert Breer, the Chiefs and DE Frank Clark are working on a restructure to keep him in Kansas City. 

Clark is set to count $26.3 million against the cap in 2022. The Chiefs could save $12.7 million with a release but they would need a new starter and be left with $13.6 million in dead money. 

Clark, 28, is a former second-round pick of the Seahawks back in 2015. He played out his four-year, $3.732 million contract and was subsequently franchise-tagged by the Seahawks. 

Seattle then traded Clark to the Chiefs in exchange for a first and second-round pick. Clark signed a five-year, $105.5 million extension in Kansas City. 

In 2021, Clark appeared in 14 games for the Chiefs and recorded 22 tackles, 4.5 sacks and two forced fumbles.
