Chris Jones, a defensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs, turned to X, formerly Twitter, on New Year’s Eve after the team defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 25-17. Jones demanded that the Chiefs re-sign defensive end Frank Clark, who was just cut.
Return Frank Clark to the fold.” For this playoff run, I need my brother,” Jones wrote on December 31.
On December 30, the Seattle Seahawks released 30-year-old Clark. On October 26, he signed a contract with the Seahawks, although he had little effect on the field during the next two months. Clark recorded six tackles in his six games with Seattle, according Pro Football Reference. Clark made two tackles in two games for the Denver Broncos prior to signing with Seattle.

Two-time Super Bowl champion Frank Clark
In April 2019, the Chiefs acquired Clark from the Seahawks by trading a 2019 first-round pick, a 2020 second-round pick, and a pair of 2019 third-round picks.
In his four seasons with the Chiefs, Clark finished the regular season with 263 tackles, 131 quarterback hits, 67 tackles for loss, 58.5 sacks, 14 forced fumbles, and 2 interceptions. However, Clark’s real value came in the postseason; in 12 playoff games with the Chiefs, PFF reports that Clark recorded 40 total QB pressures (26 hurries, 11 sacks, 3 hits, and 23 stops). Clark spent three seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs and was named a Pro Bowler.
According to PFF, Clark’s 45 total pressures (30 QB hurries, 9 QB hits, and 6 sacks) in 15 games during the 2022 regular season was the third-lowest total of his eight-year career. In addition, he had one safety, one forced fumble, eight tackles for loss, and one fumble recovery.

did, however, step up to the plate during Kansas City’s subsequent Super Bowl run. He totaled 11 pressures (7 quarterback hurries, 3 sacks, 1 QB hit), 3 tackles for loss, and 1 QB hit in three playoff games. According to StatMuse, his playoff performance propelled him into third place all-time most sacks in postseason history (13.5), just 1.5 sacks behind the leader (Willie McGinest, 16).
