Why Frank Clark might take a pay cut — just like Sammy Watkins did

The Kansas City Chiefs expect to enter the offseason with a fluid salary cap situation. After all reported 2022 signings are accounted for, their current cap space should be approximately $2.7 million. They do, however, have multiple paths to clear a large amount of room — which would allow them to be active when free agency starts in March.

Due to his sizeable salary-cap hit, armchair general managers frequently cite cutting defensive end Frank Clark — who is under contract through 2023 — as the most obvious move. Per Spotrac, Clark has a 2022 cap number of $26.
