Frank Clark’s deal is the line. That would make him the highest paid DT not named Aaron Donald and by a hefty amount. 2nd highest paid DT is Fletcher Cox at $17 million, about $4 million less than Frank Clark’s deal.

If Chris Jones and his agent come charging at Veach asking to be the highest paid defensive player in football, then yeah I’d start considering a trade. He isn’t either of those players.

Not saying that he’s doing that, but this is based off the OP. He absolutely should not be the highest paid defensive player.

Take Frank Clark’s deal and be happy.
