Not since Melvim Ingram signed and Chris Jones back inside.
This is working. |

Frank should have had 2.5 sacks yesterday. I think he's about to explode. I could see him getting 4-5 sacks over the last four games.

Clark looks like he is shot out of a cannon around the edge lately. Incredible timing on the snap count with real burst.

If he plays like this for the rest of the season and postseason and we win the SB, it’s going to be really hard to argue that the trade wasn’t worth it in the end.

Alright guys.
It might be time to revisit what I think all of us had as the slam-dunk move of this coming offseason, which is releasing Frank Clark. I'm still in favor of it at this point, but it's now like 55/45 instead of the 100/0 it was after September. Anybody think we should explore extending him to lower his 2022 cap hit, rather than straight up releasing him? I think it's at least worth a conversation. |

I doubt there is much of a market for him, so if he stays on a very cheap deal, yes.
But I think we can do better with a younger player. |

He's not going to leave the money he's owed on the table, though. There's no way we "Okafor" him. But maybe we can extend him for, like, $16m/year for X years. Lower the cap hit in 2022, which we'll need to do all kinds of stuff. I think I'm still against the idea, but it's something worth exploring right now. |

Ideally I’d like to keep Frank and Melvin and add a young DE early in the draft |

The thought of this as a possibility gives me wood.

1. Clark is playing amazing right now. He's currently the guy we traded for in 2019. The possibility of losing that in 2022 gives him leverage. 2. Aside from Clark, we do not (yet?) have Ingram re-signed, which means our 2022 DE depth chart is Danna and Kaindoh, and that's it. 3. If we cut him, he can probably find a home in the mid- to upper-teens. It's not like we cut him and he's Clowney 2.0, homeless and undesired. These things make Clark very valuable for us. So he does have some leverage. Cutting him after the September he had would have been painless. Cutting him at this point, should he play like this for the rest of the season, is going to hurt. Maybe there's an extension with a low-2022 cap hit that's agreeable to both parties. |
