BREAKING: Chiefs' Frank Clark Suspended Two Games For Violating League's Personal Conduct Policy
Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark has been suspended by the NFL for two games for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.
Clark's suspension begins immediately. The Chiefs (5-2) have their bye this week, so Clark will miss games in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans and Week 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He will be eligible to return for a Week 11 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
The suspension stems from two illegal gun possession charges arrests in March and June of 2021:
The 29-year-old Clark has struggled with illnesses throughout the fall, and that's limited him to just 15 tackles and three sacks. That comes after a disappointing season in which Clark had 4 1/2 sacks, his lowest total since his rookie season.
The Chiefs, desperate to improve their pass rush after ranking among the league's worst last season, managed to rework Clark's massive contract in the offseason to keep him in Kansas City. He got a signing bonus of $4,550,000, a base salary of $3,725,000 this season and a roster bonus of $900,000, along with $75,000 for each game he is active.
