The 24-year-old will receive a $25 million signing bonus and $37 million in total over the first two years of the deal, as NFL Network's Tom Pelissero notes.
Clark's $17.5 million annual salary tops all nose tackles and is 12th among defensive players.
He had one year left and $7.96 million remaining on his 2016 rookie deal. He'll now remain in Green Bay until at least 2024.
Last season, Clark record six sacks, one forced fumble, 31 solo tackles, nine tackles for a loss and seven quarterback hits.
