Kenny Clark quietly steadies Cowboys as the player that came in the Micah Parsons trade
Kenny Clark, a three-time Pro Bowler, has helped stabilize the Dallas Cowboys' defense, which ranks 29th against the run, after the trade that sent Micah Parsons to Green Bay.
Kenny Clark, traded in the Parsons deal, left the Packers after nine seasons and immediately focused on his new teammates with the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas, Texas.
Facing a poor run defense, the Cowboys traded after months of a contract stalemate with Parsons; Jones said he wouldn’t have made the deal without Clark.
Clark’s routine—questions and notes—won teammates over, and as a three-time Pro Bowler at 6-foot-3 and 314 pounds, he earned respect practicing like in Green Bay.
The Cowboys see Clark as a steadying influence for a defense ranked 29th against the run, though the interior front looks less responsible since his arrival.
Clark is under contract through 2027, and his pairing with Osa Odighizuwa—who signed an $80 million contract extension and knew Clark via UCLA—could form a lasting interior tandem.
