I was pissed at first, but then I looked more into Frank Clark and hes a ****ing beast. The guy hasn't even been a full time starter until last year and still he racked up sacks in the years prior.
Yes he is worth more in picks than Dee Ford, because hes been completely healthy, he has a much better track record of producing, and hes a little over 2 years younger than Ford.
I really like the way Veach is doing his contracts. Yes hes paying a lot but it's not like he is paying aging vets. Hell I'd take Frank Clark and his deal over Khalil Mack and his deal. Frank Clark will be 30 in his last year here and the bears will be paying Mack until he is 33. Mack is making 23.5 million per year and Clark is making 21 million a year.
Clark's stats through the first 4 years of his career:
33 games started, 35 sacks, 8 forced fumbles, 1 int, 72 QBs hits, 35 tackles for loss, 136 tackles
Mack's stats through his first 4 years of his career
64 games started, 40.5 sacks, 9 forced fumbles, 1 int, 84 QBs hits, 68 tackles for loss, 303 tackles
Also I see a lot of people complaining about us not going and getting someone else and waiting so long until we had to overpay for Clark. It seems Veach has certain guys that he wants and it's not like Clark has been available until recently. The Seahawks were supposedly going to pay Clark until Wilson did his thing, so the contract extension for Wilson made Clark available. All these other guys people are saying Veach could have gotten are probably guys he didn't want or Spags didn't want.
So relax guys we just got a guy that's just a small step below Mack, but hes younger and cheaper. We have another guy we will probably sign to an extension that is a small step under A. Donald, but he is also younger and also should be cheaper. It seems we are building up a good defense.
