Who you're describing is essentially Cameron Jordan. He's made about $12 million/yr in the contracts given to him after his rookie deal. Let's say he plays out the final 3 years of his deal and the Saints will have paid him roughly $120 million over 10 years. And frankly, the odds are pretty high that he takes a pay cut in there somewhere.
And Clark has never been close to the kind of player Jordan was in '17 before he signed the deal he's playing on now. Danielle Hunter has been a better player than Clark was in Seattle and he signed a 5 year deal worth $72 million.
No, Clark was NEVER worth what he was paid. Even if he played at the level he demonstrated. And that's exactly why that trade/extension was a mistake.
