Cowboys Face Key Decision on DT Kenny Clark's $21.5M Salary

Dallas Cowboys DT Kenny Clark's future with the team is uncertain as the franchise faces significant long-term decisions. Clark's salary next season is a non-guaranteed $21.5 million, which includes an $11 million mid-March roster bonus, placing a decision on his future on a similar timeline as other key players. Retaining him at his 2026 salary would require devoting substantial assets along the defensive line, where Quinnen Williams and Osa Odighizuwa already have high cap numbers, contributing to the Cowboys' significantly negative 2026 salary cap.
