Clark, a three-time Pro Bowler, had a standout season last year with a career-high 7.5 sacks, along with 44 tackles, nine stops for loss, and two forced fumbles over 17 games. Throughout his eight-season career with the Packers, Clark has amassed 380 tackles, 34 sacks, 47 tackles for loss, seven forced fumbles, and 71 quarterback hits, including a career-best 16 last season.
The 28-year-old was drafted in the first round (27th overall) out of UCLA in 2016 and has been a key player for the Packers, starting in 109 out of 123 games. His extension not only highlights his value to the team but also solidifies Green Bay’s defensive line for the foreseeable future.
