Frank Clark’s time with the Denver Broncos is coming to an end.
The Broncos will release the veteran pass rusher if they are unable to find a trade partner, ESPN’s Field Yates confirmed Thursday morning. Clark restructured his contract on Wednesday and gave back $1.68 million, according to Yates. That could make a potential trade more feasible.
Reports emerged on Sunday that Denver is receiving trade calls about Clark, a 30-year-old pass rusher who joined the team in June on a one-year, $5.5 million contract. Clark has an impressive resume with 72 career sacks (including playoffs) and two Super Bowl rings, but he has failed to make an impact with the Broncos.
Clark has appeared in just two games this season with no sacks or quarterback hits in those contests. He is ruled out for Thursday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs with an “illness.”
Last week, the Broncos traded pass rusher Randy Gregory and a seventh-round draft pick to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a sixth-round pick. A similar deal for Clark might be on the way.
