CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 So they essentially took 10 million total off his next two seasons he was due. Uhhhh. Yeah. I guess saving money against the cap for an average de makes sense in theory but…yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Hard to get anyone for 1.2 million. Maybe year two is not guaranteed. Plus, I think, Kc saves cap room now instead of after June 1st. Thus the Reid signing.

If we are going into the season with the idea of him starting, we are in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,114 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Not sure why anyone is against this. He is better than anyone we could have gotten for 1.2 million and we don’t exactly have any experienced DEs on this team. He should be a rotational player and offer veteran leadership. I don’t love him but it was a good business decision. Now we can still go get Z Smith or Jones and add Ingram latter along with a wr.

qnet 1,150 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I didn't think he would actually restructure. I'm not satisfied with his performance but don't know who else we could go get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thegoatee 1,780 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 From a money standpoint I get it, but I hope they draft his replacement too. I would prefer him not be on the roster at all and letting young guys get all sorts of snaps. Clark is a known, over payed dude. He should be on a short leash for playing time.

jetlord 10,209 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Two things: This may be a deal so they can trade him. No team was going to pick up his old contract. He may play in KC as a first/second down lineman. He seals the edge well and if the Chiefs can resign Ingraham and draft a speed rusher, Clark could have a role. qnet, mex, oldtimer and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkuenn 3,597 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Get a DE now, draft the other and maybe still sign one. Ingram makes most sense still and let the drafted DE, which is flooded in this draft, get a year to come up to speed. Also I think we go after a DT. Some nice ones out there and I would not mind drafting another with a higher pick. Set us up for the future plus we can always us D line help, especially a guy who could be stout against the run and has some rush ability in the middle. WR i think we get FA. S we will draft another CB we need help/depth at for sure still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I'm hoping/expecting something similar to Hitchens deal which basically made him untouchable for a year and allowed us to cut him afterwards. Looks like a minor additional pay for this year where Clark can make his FA bid in an environment he already knows. I don't mind him sticking around for basically a vet-minimum difference as long as they don't see him as the answer beyond 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sith13 1,746 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Love that structure, basically a vet minimum addition to the dead money and he gets to showcase his skills for one last time for a new contract in FA next year. Win-win for both sides IMO. I don't like him as the primary option but don't mind him making so little additional money to stay around for a single season just in case we don't find our guy early in the draft. In terms of the FA I still hope we can get someone like Flowers and Ingram is still my first choice but he could opt for a long-term deal due to age.

gochiefsgo 380 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Did the Chiefs just free up some money to sign Chandler Jones? And if they keep Ingram this dline is deadly. AFCWEST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gochiefsgo 380 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Veach said I’m going to fix the dline this off-season. He didn’t specify via the draft. He certainly did something last year to the oline. Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mex 65,581 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Not a clark fan. But this was a good move because I don't see any average DEs out there for that money. I mean, now clark HAS to perform... because he's gone in 2023 if he doesn't. Because who will pick him up? Seen it happen too many times where a few years of cushy guaranteed money lowers performance... but being forced to market yourself for free agency next year sets the tone for a season let's hope oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
