Frank Clark is playing the best football of his career.
Of his winding, eventful, about-to-be-fulfilled life.
Without departed Pro Bowl ends Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril, Clark alone is making Seattle’s pass rush an unexpected asset instead of an expected liability so far this season.
The 25-year-old is on the cusp of a raise from $900,000 this season, the final one of his rookie contract, to perhaps $16 million per year or more for 2019 and beyond. That’s how much his Seahawks, the entire NFL, value his primary skill of sacking the quarterback in this passer-and-rush-the-passer league.
