Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Chief and DE Frank Clark have agreed to a re-worked contract for him to stay in Kansas City.
Clark reportedly receives a new two-year contract worth $29 million and can increase up to $36 million.
Clark was set to count $26.3 million against the cap in 2022. The Chiefs could have saved $12.7 million with a release but they would need a new starter and have been 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.
