Frank Clark will be seeing plenty of the Kansas City Chiefs after signing with his former team’s division rival.
Clark agreed to a one-year contract with the Denver Broncos on Thursday. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the deal is for a base $5.5 million, with the potential for Clark to earn up to $2 million in incentives.

A three-time Pro Bowler, Clark will be tasked with bolstering Denver’s pass rush. In 15 games last season, he collected five sacks and 13 QB hits. He is known for his performances in the postseason, as shown by one statistical mark he may have the chance to break if he gets a few more cracks at it.
The Broncos are trying to rebound following a miserable 2022 season that saw them go just 5-12. Clark brings plenty of experience and a winning mentality, which can only help.
