Green Bay Packers nose tackle Kenny Clark has agreed to a three-year, $64 million extension, according to multiple reports on Sunday.

The Packers announced an extension for Clark later Sunday but didn’t reveal terms.

Clark reportedly received a $17.5 million signing bonus as part of the deal that puts him under contract through the 2027 season. He was entering the final season of his previous deal.

According to spotrac.com, the $21.3 million annual average makes Clark the 10th-highest paid defensive tackle in the NFL.

Clark, a three-time Pro Bowler, had a career-high 7.5 sacks last season while accumulating 44 tackles, nine stops for loss and two forced fumbles in 17 games.

Overall, Clark has 380 tackles, 34 sacks, 47 tackles for loss and seven forced fumbles in 123 games (109 starts) over eight seasons, all with Green Bay. He also has 71 quarterback hits, including a career-best 16 last season.

Clark, 28, was a first-round draft pick (27th overall) out of UCLA in 2016.
