In his rookie season, Clary spent the year on the Chargers' practice squad.

Clary became a starter late in the 2007 season. A reserve for most of the year, the coaches inserted him into the starting lineup at right tackle in early December to give the team’s struggling running game a spark. Over the final five games, the Chargers rushed for 880 yards, scored eight touchdowns and went 5-0. Clary’s ascencion into the starting lineup helped the Bolts capture the AFC West title en route to a berth in the AFC Championship Game.

Clary earned the starting right tackle spot in mini camp.^[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 came back from the injury and played every snap during the 2010 and ’11 seasons.

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 made 8.5 million in the first year. Clary went on to start and play in all 16 games for the Chargers in 2011.^[4]

In 2012, Clary started and played in 14 games for the Chargers at right tackle. He was out two games due to a knee injury.

Clary was moved to starting Right Guard during the 2013 NFL season after the Chargers drafted D.J. Fluker in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft.^[5]
