General manager Brian Gutekunst and the Green Bay Packers may have the chance to pull off quite the reunion.
After pulling off a blockbuster trade to acquire Micah Parsons, one of the main pieces of the package to pull off the deal might be about to come available ahead of NFL free agency getting underway.
Could the Packers sign Kenny Clark?
After being traded to the Cowboys, along with two first-round draft picks, former Pro Bowl defensive lineman Kenny Clark could be about to become a cap casualty as Dallas looks to create spending flexibility under the cap to accommodate a long-term contract extension for wide receiver George Pickens.
According to Bleacher Report, Clark might be the most likely cap casualty that the Cowboys could conceivably move on from this offseason.
“Considering Dallas is currently $31 million over the cap,” Alex Kay writes for B/R. “And has two other defensive tackles in Osa Odighizuwa and Quinnen Williams each set to account for $20 million-plus in cap space, Clark may be the odd man out this offseason.
“Clark did manage to remain highly productive during an age 30 campaign in 2025. The three-time Pro Bowler appeared in all 17 games, tallying 36 tackles and three sacks while playing 68 percent of the team’s defensive snaps. While he’s still playing at a high level, the structure of Clark’s contract makes his release an especially appealing option for a cash-strapped squad.”
While Clark could look to cash in on the open market, if his age keeps his price down, the Packers might be one of the few destinations where the veteran run-stuffer would accept some sort of hometown discount, to return.
A Green Bay reunion wouldn’t just give Clark the chance to chase a Super Bowl ring with a roster built to contend immediately, but also to play alongside Parsons, which could be advantageous for him to have a productive season and look to cash in on a mega-deal next spring.
