Seahawks franchise tag Frank Clark and there was rejoicing

Frank Clark has been franchised by the Seahawks. This means Clark will remain in Seattle for at least one more year and make a bit over $17 million. This also means that Seattle can keep negotiating with Clark on a long-term deal. Albert Breer of The MMQB was the first to report the news.

Clark was a must-keep for Seattle. The defensive end either had 13 or 14 sacks in 2018, depending on whether you believe ESPN or Pro Football Reference. Either way, losing that kind of production would have been awful for Seattle. There was little chance of bringing in any other player close to Clark’s abilities.
