If he pleads not guilty on Wednesday (knowing that his second court date for the second incident isn't until October) he probably won't miss any time this year at all because it will drag out so long. If he pleads guilty on Wednesday, that could set all kinds of wheels in motion, not the least of which is a potential of voiding of his contract guarantees. |

I always find stuff like that funny, though. They catch a guy redhanded and there's no ambiguity, but they will plead not guilty, which is technically perjury, right? Or is the plea exempt from that, since everyone who is found guilty would end up getting a perjury charge? I like that a guy can walk into a bank with cameras all over him, brandish eight machine guns and two grenades and a bazooka, yell for everyone to get down, blow up the vault with the bazooka, carry out eighteen bags of money, then get wrestled to the ground by 15 cops, and then he stands in court and pleads not guilty. |

And while it may seem prudent from a football standpoint to plead not guilty and drag it out, the commish could still put him on the exempt list - he doesn't need a legal reason.
Furthermore, it might be suicidal from a legal standpoint to not plead down to a misdemeanor from the felony charge. Hypothetically, he goes to trial and gets found guilty for both incidents. He plays in 2021 and then goes to prison or some shit and never plays again versus serving a suspension in 2021 and moving on from there. |

I have a hard time thinking Clark would go on the exempt list over a gun infraction. I understand that what he did was illegal, stupid, and wrong, but NFL players getting pinched for firearms infractions could become common, and I don't know if its worth pinching a guy when nobody was hurt in any way shape or form.
Now a four game suspension? Sure. |

If they could figure out a way to make a big name guy like Clark earn $500k/yr for the rest his life after retirement and lower the up front money, I think a lot of players would benefit. It will never happen but I’m sure a lot of former players wish their structure was less up front and stronger on the back end. |
