Green Bay is keeping one of its core players in for the long haul.
According to multiple reports the Packers and defensive lineman Kenny Clark have agreed to terms on a three-year, $64 million contract extension that will earn Clark $29 million for the 2024 season.
The team later announced the extension, which is Clark’s second with the team after signing his first in 2020.

Clark is coming off a Pro Bowl season, the third in the las t five seasons. He tallied a career-high 7.5 sacks and 16 quarterback hits in 17 games played. It was one of Clark’s best seasons, as he was at the center of Green Bay’s defense all season long and cemented himself as one of the best interior defensive lineman in the NFL.
Locking up Clark means the team can now shift its focus to signing quarterback Jordan Love to a long-term deal.
