James Palmer: Chiefs "working on keeping" Frank Clark

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Looks like the logic is "we're paying for him either way, might as well have him on the team" at that same price.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The Chiefs trying to restructure Frank Clark isn&#39;t stunning. Maybe not ideal, but not a surprise. The dead money is huge, so might as well keep him at a lower hit if possible.</p>&mdash; Matt Verderame (@MattVerderame) <a href="https://twitter.com/MattVerderame/status/1503415949516591107?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 14, 2022</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The problem is....no...your DE2 spot doesn't get better. This ****ing dipshit couldn't beat 3rd string OTs last year and all of a sudden he's going to be better just because he makes less money?

He's a waste of a roster spot at this point.

We won’t take the cap hit and we could possibly free up about 12 milly.

I'm okay with keeping him and getting the savings. Draft a young guy and work him in. Bring in another free agent and have some solid depth.

That we agree on.

I wonder what Veach & company see that everyone else doesn't...

If Spags is banging the drum to keep Clark...then Spags can head out the door with him at this point.

Nooooooooooo! :banghead:

Frank Clark is not a good football player.

If they can bring him back at a cap hit less than his dead cap number, it makes sense financially.

Make no mistake, I would prefer he leave. But this isn't some sky is falling shit.

It's not the end of the damn world.
