From BR - ranked 18 among DEs. As a pure football talent, there are few players with as bright of an on-field future as Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark. The 24-year-old 2015 second-round draft pick already has 22 sacks in his NFL career. His short-area quickness allows him to beat tackles to the outside or set up a swift inside counter. Over the last two seasons, only eight edge defenders have recorded nine or more sacks in both 2016 and 2017: Mario Addison, Joey Bosa, Chandler Jones, Ryan Kerrigan, Khalil Mack, Von Miller, Cameron Wake and Clark. Should Cliff Avril not return to football, making Clark a 16-game starter for the first time in his career, expect him to fit right in.
Maybe it’s just my eyes, but he’s not worth what he is going to be asking. I like him, just not for QB money
So you just broke copy and pasted Bleacher Report's breakdown of Clark putting him in the same category as the best pass rushing DE's in the league, and then tell us you don't see it?
We will pay Clark...........he's worth it, and we don't have a choice.
He is worth what exactly? $20M per year?
Nope, not IMO. Hell yes we need Frank, but I draw the line around $15M or so.
You can't just say "he's worth it" without throwing a number out there.
You can't arbitrarily say he's only worth 15M, when the market is now 18-20M. That's not how it works in the NFL.
If you draw a line in the sand and demand he take less than the current market, then you lose him because someone else will pay him more.
We messed up, now the market's higher and we'll pay it. Again, because the alternative is let him walk or franchise, which is 19M fully guaranteed.
So no, we don't have a choice. We'd be insane to let a top 5-6 player in the now the 2nd most important position on the field walk over 3-4M a year, with a ton of cap space next year.
