GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) – The Green Bay Packers are in the process of looking into locking up one of their longest-tenured players.
According to Ashley Washburn of WTMJ4, the Packers and Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark is working on a long-term deal that would keep him in Green Bay for the rest of his career which Clark addressed following minicamp on Tuesday saying, “I love it here. I love my teammates. I love the organization. Hopefully, everything will work out.”
General Manager Brian Gutekunst responded to Clark’s comments during an interview with Cheesehead TV saying, “We’d love to keep Kenny around. We’ll see how that goes here moving forward. I think that’s something as we go forward here we’re going to look to see if we can do. It’s all got to fit, and certainly, Jordan’s contract, getting that done and kind of knowing how it’s structured and how it sits over the next few years will be important. But Kenny is still playing at a very high level. One of our team leaders. We’d certainly like to have him around for a number of years.”
Clark, a first-round selection of the Packers out of UCLA in 2016, won’t turn 29 until October and in each of his eight NFL seasons, he has played in at least 13 games while being voted to the Pro Bowl three of the last five seasons.
