The Kansas City Chiefs announced Tuesday that they released pass-rusher Frank Clark.

Kansas City had several conversations with Clark's agent at the NFL combine, but the two sides were unable to find common ground, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The 29-year-old was entering the final season of a two-year, $30.2-million deal, per Spotrac.

Clark, who came over in a 2019 trade with the Seattle Seahawks, has recorded 23.5 sacks in four seasons with the Chiefs. He's been an even bigger factor in the postseason, totaling 10.5 sacks with Kansas City. His most memorable stretch came during the team's 2019 Super Bowl run as he contributed five sacks over three postseason games.

His 13.5 playoff sacks rank third in NFL playoff history.

A three-time Pro Bowler, Clark put up five sacks and 13 quarterback hits in 15 starts last season.
