Irrelevant.

I remember when we couldn't just let Berry leave and *gasp* do something like sign with the Faid or Donks and gave that stupid ****ing contract because he was so important, and again, got DICK in return. We are STILL eating that weak willed ****s dead money.

Also irrelevant.

Frank Clark already has a stupid contract. Now people want to tie up 200 million on the d line.

Frank Clark ended the season with 13 total sacks, 5 in the playoffs, ended every playoff game with a sack, 5 TFLs in the playoffs, 7 QB hits, and I don't know how many QB pressures, culminating in a Super Bowl win for the Chiefs. Pretty sure any reasonable person would conclude that Frank's contract was money well-spent.

And when considering that he was hurt for most of the first half of the season and only started 11 games, but still notched 8 regular season sacks, it's pretty obvious that Clark was worth his "stupid contract."

And as for DLs/DEs that got paid and lived up to their contract, Aaron Donald says hi. Since getting paid, he's only notched 33 sacks and 45 TFLs in two seasons.

Calais Campbell left ARI to get paid, and in his first two years of his new contract he actually posted more sacks than in his last 4 years with ARI combined, along with higher TFL numbers and total tackles.
