“I’m a competitor, I like to win. I go out every time to win. When we don’t win, it’s frustrating, it makes the week long, it makes going home tough. I’ve been here three years and still haven’t really won," Chark said after the loss.

Hopefully when the whole staff and front office is canned he'll change his tune.
I love Chark. He's good. But if he turns into a pout his way out kind of guy... well sayonara. Dime a dozen, keep drafting them. There's a few real good ones coming out this draft. And in every draft. 
That being said I think a new GM gets him inked long term right away and a new QB that can hit him in stride deep for TDs instead of throwing short for INTs and small gains will get him back "all-in"

I mean, wasn't he one of the guys being vocal about the guys (Yan and Fournette) who wanted out and didn't want to be here?

See..e this franchise can't fall for the okey-doke again.

If the team is willing to overpay for someone else's free agent, they need to be willing to overpay if necessary to keep their own when they are productive.

If any part of Khan wants this team to win, he will be proactive and make it a point to keep Chark.  Granted, there is not much he can do about the winning at this point, but moving forward, if he wants to win, he won't let Chark get to the point where he starts grousing about money.  even with a bad ankle, he easily got past the Lions' secondary on a few occasions, only to have Minshew hang the ball.  To whatever extent fans can influence the team to do something, we need to encourage the team to keep him.

Look at some of the teams that have been losing big this year.

The Jets let a ton of talent walk within the last two years.  Leonard Williams (with the Giants),  Robby Anderson (n-w with Carolina) , Jamal Adams (unbeaten Seattle), now Leveon Bell (5-1 Chiefs).   The Vikings also let a ton of talent walk away.  They traded Stephon Diggs and let a bunch of their defensive players leave.  We suck in part because we rid ourselves of Ramsey, Campbell, Ngakoue and Bouye,

Conversely, the Ravens took Calais campbell off our hands and are now 5-1.  The Rams took Ramsey and are 4-2.  The Bills acquired Stephon Diggfs and are now 4-2 having just lost two straight against outstanding opponents.  The Chiefs did not hesitate to snag Leveon Bell.  Head coach Andy Reid said the Chiefs would not turn away a superior talent.  Jamal Adams pouted and the undefeated Seahowks took him and are undefeated.  

Good teams have been exploiting doormats like this for decades.

How long will be be willing victims of this dynamic?
