After an outspoken negotiation period where\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0analyst Ryan Clark threatened to leave ESPN, he has verbally agreed to remain at the network, sources briefed on the deal said.<\/p>\n

Clark\u2019s previous contract ran out days before the Super Bowl, but the two sides agreed to extend it through the big game and Clark appeared on \u201cSportsCenter\u201d with Scott Van Pelt that night.<\/p>\n

ESPN is expected to announce the new deal soon. The network declined comment.<\/p>\n

The signing of extensions is generally mundane, but Clark made his displeasure with ESPN\u2019s offer public.<\/p>\n

Three days after the Super Bowl, Clark tweeted, \u201c3 years ago I signed an extension with ESPN. I was so grateful for more time. I (was) excited to prove I was worth more, felt I deserved more. We disagreed, & that\u2019s ok. I set out on a mission to leave no doubt, end all conversations about my who I was in this business. \u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThe season is over. The deal is up. Time to make a decision. Either way it goes. The mission don\u2019t change. I want to be the best doing it. Everyone should. I\u2019m more motivated today than ever. I\u2019m still the same #UndraftedFreeAgent !\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
