8. Frank Clark – Seattle Seahawks

Frank Clark may have a very boring name, but his play on the field is anything but mundane. His ability to rush the passer will make him a very interesting potential 2019 free agent.

Clark isn’t a dominant pass rusher, but he is a very solid one. He tallied 10 sacks in 2016 and followed it up with another nine last season. Those stats may be a little inflated due to the talent that surrounded him in Seattle, but it’s not as if he’s entirely devoid of pass rushing ability.

Clark’s value on the open market will be buoyed by the fact that solid pass rushers don’t come available very often. No team should pay him massive money expecting him to be their primary pass rusher, but he can be very productive playing on the opposite side of a top-tier defensive end.

Clark also gets extra points for his ability to play against the run. Again, he’s not going to dominate against the run game but he’s an end that can play on any down. Teams that sign Clark won’t need to pair him with a reserve who can dominate against the run. Clark isn’t the most exciting potential free agent, but he’ll earn a big contract if Seattle doesn’t lock him up.
