The 12-year pro started his career with two-year stints with the New York Giants and Washington Redskins, before spending the last eight seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
At 34-years-old, Clark has become one of the most-respected safeties in the NFL, along with making the NFL Pro Bowl in 2011.
The former Redskins defensive back set a career-high in assists on tackles (45) in 2013, along with posting 60 true tackles and two interceptions while starting all 16 games for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Redskins seem very intrigued about Ryan Clark's natural ability to find the ball on instinct, so don't rule them out of any discussions despite dwindling salary cap space.
