According to Adam Schefter, the Chiefs are expected to release DE Frank Clark in order to save cap space.
Schefter adds the two sides were trying to work on a restructured deal like they did last year, when Clark agreed to a pay cut to stay in Kansas City.
They weren’t able to reach an agreement, however, and Clark will be a free agent shortly.
Cutting Clark will save $21 million in cap space while leaving $7.675 million in dead money, per Over The Cap.
Clark, 29, 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. Last offseason, Clark signed a new two-year contract worth $29 million.
In 2022, Clark appeared in 15 games for the Chiefs and recorded 39 total tackles, eight tackles for loss, five sacks, one forced fumble, one recovery, one pass deflection and a safety.
