[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 869455, member: 12283"] I literally responded directly to your point and disagreed with you precisely on the grounds that you were contending. So I don't know what you're talking about, "missing the forest for the trees." You created a totally faulty comparison based on contracts that have no relevance to the current salary cap climate. I'd say that pointing that out is fair game. You may think that Tyler Boyd and Shelby Harris would be a better duo to have than Kenny Clark. I strongly disagree. I would also point out that contracts like Boyd's, i.e. extensions that players did with their original team before hitting free agency, aren't realistic comp's to what one could get on the open market. Guys who make it to actual FA make more than guys who extend before they ever get there. That's why a player of Boyd's quality only made 1M more in 2020 cap dollars than a guy of a lower caliber, like Robby Anderson. Lastly, Clark is not a 3-4 NT. He's an interior defensive lineman. True 3-4 NT's play about 40% (or less) of the snaps in today's NFL. The Packers are rarely ever in a 3-4 alignment. Yes, Clark can and does play in that spot when we occasional roll out a 3-4, but the vast majority of the time, he's played somewhere from a shade to a 3T alignment in sub package-- nickel or dime. This is an important distinction, because guys like Michael Pierce or Damon Harrison, true 2-down NT's, are rightfully going to make far less than Clark. But Clark is not limited to anything like their role, because he's a dangerous interior pass rusher. Hence, 12 sacks from the interior over the last two seasons, and many more hits and pressures. So once again, I would argue that you're making a faulty comparison. [/QUOTE]
