Frank Clark Fantasy

Kansas City Chiefs Pro Bowl defensive end Frank Clark reworked his contract on Monday to stay with the team. His new deal is for two years and $29 million with upside to make $36 million. Clark initially signed a five-year, $105.5 million deal back in 2019, but now the Chiefs will have more salary cap space for the 2022 season. The 28-year-old has been a Pro Bowler in each of the last three seasons, but he had just 4.5 sacks in 2021 and has had declining sack totals since he joined the Chiefs. Clark has managed double-digit sacks in only two of his seven NFL seasons, and he's recorded a combined 10.5 sacks in the last two seasons. In 14 regular season games last year, Clark had 22 tackles (15 solo), four tackles for loss, 17 QB hits and two forced fumbles.

The expectation around the league is that the Kansas City Chiefs will either trade or release defensive end Frank Clark. If he's not traded or released, his contract must be reworked, and his $26.3 million salary cap hit is a tough sell for the Chiefs. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler lists the San Francisco 49ers as a potential new home for Clark. The 28-year-old has been a Pro Bowler in each of the last three years, but he's had declining sack totals each year since 2018, his last with the Seattle Seahawks. In 14 regular season games in 2021, Clark had only 22 tackles (15 solo), four tackles for loss, 17 QB hits, two forced fumbles and 4.5 sacks. Releasing Clark would create $13.6 million in dead money this year, but if they designate him as a post-June cut, the Chiefs can save $19.5 million ($6.8 million in dead cash).

The Kansas City Chiefs ruled out defensive end Frank Clark (hamstring) and cornerback Charvarius Ward (quadriceps) for their Week 4 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Both players were listed as questionable on the final injury report on Friday. Clark will now miss his second straight game. Mike Danna and Alex Okafor should see increased snaps on the defensive line this Sunday. Mike Hughes is the most likely candidate to fill in for Ward in KC's secondary against the Eagles. The Chiefs defense/special teams hasn't been anything special through three weeks with only four sacks and four turnovers, but they do have one touchdown to rank them 13th in overall fantasy points. They'll be a low-end streaming option in deeper leagues while going up against a suspect Eagles offensive line.
