Broncos agree to one-year deal with former Chief Frank Clark
The Denver Broncos have announced their latest signing for the 2022 season, inking a one-year, $5.5 million deal with Frank Clark. The former Kansas City Chiefs edge rusher comes in to bolster the Broncos defense following the recent knee operation of third-year pro, Baron Browning. Browning is expected to be back for training camp next month. Clark, who turns 30 next week, was cut by the Chiefs in a cost-saving move after contributing five sacks to last year’s Super Bowl victory.
Despite some injury concerns with Gregory and Browning, Clark is expected to be a reliable contributor, having never played fewer than 14 games during his eight-year NFL career. He’ll be hoping to make an immediate impact opposite starter Randy Gregory. The signing of Clark is a clear indication that the Broncos are looking to make a push for the playoffs, following a disappointing 7-10 record last year.
