Ok, guys. Frank has stopped drinking and is serious about this season. I can’t stop drinking for more than 8hrs at a time so Clark’s abstinence is notable and impressive. He and Andy had a heart to heart, shared some cheeseburgers (Frank is probably now also vegan and went Impossible Burger), chugged some Mr. Pibb, and came to an understanding.
Watch his presser from today. It’s probably one of the most real and honest things I’ve seen from a player. If you’re rooting against Frank Clark after that you’re probably either repressing some demons in your life or are related to Red Dawg.
This is a safe space to celebrate Frank Clark this season. 8 sack minimum. Let’s build this guy up rather than choosing to spend the season breaking him down.
Join me on the Shark bandwagon. There’s blood in the water.
And the obligatory: keep doubting Frank fucking Clark. [Reply]

Plenty of us loved players we played with that weren't major contributors for the team. It's not too shocking. A fans focus isn't about how they are as a friend, just results on the field and some of that is relative to contract. [Reply]

Because evidently he voided the last 2 years of his deal to facilitate the trade with the Eagles. I think he'd be a clear upgrade on Clark/Dunlap while also providing a nice bridge to a new bookend weakside DE who could be drafted in the 2nd round and develop over the course of the next year.

He made it further than most players his age, getting that big contract and playing through most of it. That's why the team friendly deal exists, so if you don't live up to the deal, they can get out of it at some point. Thanks for your service Frank, hopefully we get some good Playoff memories this year from you to remember you by so we don't just have 2019 to go off of. [Reply]

He's also been a healthy scratch for the Eagles.
So, no I'd look elsewhere for an old washed vet. [Reply]

He was twenty six when he signed his deal.
And the only reason he 'played through most of it' was because he carried too much dead money to cut loose.
