Jeromey W. Clary (born November 5, 1983 in Norfolk, Nebraska) is an American football offensive tackle for the San Diego Chargers of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Chargers in the sixth round of the 2006 NFL Draft. He played college football at Kansas State.

Professional career

Clary earned the starting right tackle job after Shane Olivea was demoted during the 2007 season.[1] Following the 2008 season, he was awarded $405,859 in additional pay from the NFL's performance-based pay system, which gives financial compensation based on a comparison of playing time to salary; this made him the biggest beneficiary in 2008.[2]

He re-signed a one-year contract with the Chargers during the 2009 off-season.[3] He was placed on injured reserve on November 24, 2009.

He played every offensive down in the 2010 season for the Chargers.

He re-signed with the Chargers on a 4-year, $20 million contract almost immediately following the lockout during the 2011 offseason. The contract is front loaded, so he stands to make 8.5 million in the first year.
