GREEN BAY - Details of nose tackle Kenny Clark’s contract extension became available Tuesday and they show the Green Bay Packers structured it to account for an expected drop in the salary cap in 2021.
Clark’s salary number this year dropped $1 million from $7.69 million and is only $7.1 million in ’21. It jumps to $20.65 million in ’22, but by that time the league salary cap should balloon considerably because of new TV contracts and the presumed end of the coronavirus pandemic.
Clark’s salary-cap numbers in 2023 and ’24 are $21.25 million and $22 million.
