ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Kansas City Chiefs are expected to release Frank Clark rushing. Shifter reported that the team and Clark were unable to find “common ground” on Clark’s contract restructuring. Now, he is expected to be released. During his four-year career with the Chiefs, he had 23.5 sacks in the regular season and 10.5 sacks over the Chiefs’ four postseason tournaments. The move, if it happens, is expected to remove $21 million from the Chiefs’ cap space. This wasn’t the only big decision the team made. Kansas City also chose not to franchise the brand to Orlando Brown Jr. The move saved the team about $20 million, and Clark said he wanted to find a way to stay with the Chiefs after their recent Super Bowl win. The pass rusher has also been clear heading into the 2022 season that he wants to stay with the team as well. He eventually did, and took a massive pay cut for doing so, and it seemed the same deal could never be made again. The passing forward’s salary and cap hitting was significantly greater than his performance on the field. Despite a troubled run with the team, his second Lombardi Trophy endeared him permanently to many Chiefs fans. Kansas City will probably remember Clark for emerging when it mattered most. The 29-year-old defensive end would make the team with the third most sacks in NFL postseason history. Several other Super Bowl LVII champions may not be with the team in 2023.
