Clark is coming off his third Pro Bowl campaign in the last five NFL seasons. He posted a career-high 7.5 sacks and 16 QB hits in 17 games played in 2023. It was one of Clark’s best showing over a full season in his career, anchoring the Green Bay defense all season long by becoming one of the best interior linemen in the league.

The Packers’ recent playoff runs have relied on the 28-year-old’s consistent availability over the past three seasons. He’ll have a new voice in his ear, with defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley joining the team this offseason.

Green Bay securing Clark under contract means the club could now shift its focus to signing quarterback Jordan Love to a long-term deal. The Packers would like to get Love’s extension before the season with the QB market going up by each signing. Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence and Lions signal-caller Jared Goff inked contract extensions with their teams, respectively.

With training camp underway in Green Bay, Clark can prepare for the 2024 season with no worries after securing his future.
