Packers sign Kenny Clark to 3-year, $64M extension, agents say

The Green Bay Packers signed Pro Bowl nose tackle Kenny Clark to a contract extension, the team announced Sunday.

The extension is for three years and worth $64 million, Clark's 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 over $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 switching the Packers to a 4-3 base defense from the 3-4 scheme they had run for the past 15 years.

"It's going to be really good," Clark said in May of the change under Hafley . "It's one of the things where all my career I've been kind of playing this way but in more of a controlled way. And I think now this is giving us a chance to shut all that other stuff off. Just use your ability and just go up the field and be disruptive. I just think with my get-off and how I am, I think it's going to suit me well."

Clark, 28, has rarely missed games 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.
