Green Bay Packers Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark signed a three-year, $64 million extension with the team Sunday, his agents, Doug Hendrickson and CJ LaBoy of Wasserman, told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The deal will pay Clark $29 million in 2024 and could bring his career earnings to more than $150 million.
An elite run stopper, Clark compiled a career-high 7.5 sacks in 2023 en route to his third Pro Bowl.
The team has a new defensive coordinator in Jeff Hafley, who is transitioning the Packers from a base 4-3 defense to the 3-4 scheme they’ve used for 15 years.
“It’ll be really good,” Clark said in May of the change under Hafley. “It’s one of the things I’ve played that way my whole career, but in a more controlled way. And I think it gives us a chance now to put an end to all that. Just use your abilities and get up the field and be disruptive. I think with the pace of my game and the way I am, I think it’ll suit me well.”
Clark, 28, has rarely missed a game since entering the league as a first-round pick in 2016. A key contributor to the Packers’ defense, he made 17 regular-season starts in 2022 and 2023, and 16 in 2021.
