Money, Dedication Likely Why Bucs Went With Clark Over Winslow - The Ledger
But the move was more than just numbers. Clark's professionalism will go a long way in the locker room of the young Bucs.
Clark was signed as a free agent after being released by the Indianapolis Colts, who purged most of their team. Winslow was traded to the Seattle Seahawks for a conditional seventh-round pick.
If the team goes strictly by the numbers, the deal would never have been made. The two have basically the same numbers over their careers. Winslow is 28, 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, while Clark is 32, 6-foot-3 and 252 pounds.
Winslow has 10 more catches, while Clark has 51 more receiving yards. Their average per catch is nearly identical (Clark 11.4 to Winslow's 11.1).
The major difference, strictly by the numbers, is in touchdown receptions, where Clark has a 2-to-1 edge over Winslow (46 to 23).
That alone could have made a difference although Winslow's fans could counter with the past three years.
During that span, Winslow did not miss a game and averaged 72 catches during that time.
Clark, who battled injuries, has averaged 11 games and 57 catches over the same time period.
While critics will likely point out Bucs special assistant Butch Davis had something to do with Winslow being traded (the duo were together in Cleveland), that likely did not play much of a role.
What likely played a role was Winslow's salary.
Winslow was scheduled to make $3.3 million, not including a little over $1 million in workout and roster bonuses.
Clark signed a one-year deal worth up to $2.7 million with just $1 million guaranteed.
"Certainly there's a business side of this game at this level," said Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano, who wouldn't say much else about trading Winslow.
Although Clark has played a full season just once entering his 10th season, he has played 15 games four times.
"He's a proven player," Schiano said of Clark. "I know he's had some health issues of late, some issues that have kept him from playing at the level of football he played earlier in his career. I believe whole-heartedly he's going to return to form and play the way he's capable."
Clark is going to do everything he can to get back to his high standards.
"Once you stop proving yourself, you're out the door," he said. "You have to bring your A game every day. That's what makes guys special who stay in the league a long time. To do it day in and day out (and for years), finding those pros is special.
"I'm just trying to be consistent and just be a player that (Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman) and the offense can depend on," he said. "That's all I tried to be. You are never guaranteed 100 catches. You are never guaranteed 20 catches. You have to earn every one of them."
That determination and dedication is why Clark is now a Buc.
