ESPN Proposes Cowboys Trade DT Kenny Clark to Bengals to Avoid Cap Casualty

AutoDraft Pro AI

ESPN's Bill Barnwell suggests the Dallas Cowboys trade defensive tackle Kenny Clark and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Cincinnati Bengals for a 2027 sixth-round pick. Clark, acquired from the Packers last August, is due $21.5 million (non-guaranteed) in 2026, making him a potential cap casualty. A trade, possibly with a pay cut to $14 million, could prevent his release. The Bengals' DL coach, Jerry Montgomery, previously coached Clark, adding a potential reunion factor before an $11 million roster bonus is due.
