Clark’s new deal actually buys the Packers some cap space, but still ensures that the defensive tackle will be well-compensated for his performances. He will be the tenth-highest paid interior defender based on average annual value. He had been set to enter a contract year on the four-year, $70 million pact he signed back in 2020.
A three-time Pro Bowl pick, Clark played in all 17 games for the Packers last year, collecting a career-high 7.5 sacks.
