Clark’s Contract Sets the Bar

TERRY'S TALKIN'
ABOUT THE BROWNS ...

He may not admit it, but tight end Kellen Winslow really wanted a new contract after he saw Dallas Clark sign a six-year, $42 million deal with Indianapolis. The tight end receives $27 million in the first three years and the average salary in the deal can be close to $7 million annually - making him the highest-paid player at that position. It also has about $20 million guaranteed. Clark has never made a Pro Bowl and he caught 58 passes (11 for TDs) last season. Winslow believes he's a better player than Clark, and deserves to be paid like it.
