Frank Clark = Neil Smith? [Clark signs with Broncos]

Obviously a terrible comparison, but I couldn't help myself.

You can't rush the passer as much when the other team is ahead by 30, Frank.

Man, that's lame.

DJ will be thrilled that he is not returning.

Neil Smith won 2 rings with the Chiefs?

All you Clark lovers can suck my dick.

Pretty worthless signing. He didn’t ever do anything until the playoffs and that team ain’t making the playoffs

Well said RunKC

FUUUUUUCK **** **** **** **** ****

Beat me to it.

His signing (and/or someone like Hopkins) would mean one less young/talented guy on the roster. I'm very good with this outcome.

DJ went to the Broncos and Raiders

Gonna be tough for "playoff Frank" to show up when there aren't going to be any playoff games for him.

Adieu Frank!

We already have 5 DEs likely making the roster so it doesn't matter.

I would say reverse Neil Smith actually. Smith never won a ring until he went to the Donks. Clark has never played for a cellar dwelling team until now.

RIP Shark...


Can we get a moment for Frank...

This. Frank Clark is a playoff and Super Bowl winning KC hero. Look forward to seeing him in the Ring of Honor some day. Neil Smith can get ****ed.

Called it

In my own defense, I did call out that it was a terrible comparison. That said, any time I see a player go from KC to Denver, Neil Smith is the default that comes to mind.

**** that worthless POS he’s cooked anyway

He’s terrible but he may be Denver’s best edge

Sure:

Sounds like he got a nice payday. Great to see.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Compensation update: Broncos are giving former Chiefs’ pass rusher Frank Clark a one-year deal worth up to $7.5 million, per source.

Well, it's obvious where his priorities lie. He's gotten his rings, so I can't blame him, but I can't imagine anyone going to Denver to try and win another one.

Initial thoughts:

1 - Good for Frank, no one else was going to give him $5.5M guaranteed.
2 - Thank you for the fun memories!
3 - Playoff Frank will not be a thing this year, as the Broncos will not make the playoffs
4 - Regular season Frank will be a thing, as he seemed to have conditioning issues in KC, so assuming this remains a constant, his conditioning will be noticably worse a mile higher in altitude.
5 - I wish him luck in every game except for the two against KC, when I hope his stomach acts up for the day.

His priorities? Pretty sure he wanted to play for the Chiefs again, and they released him. Never heard anything that indicated the Chiefs were serious about bringing him back on a cheaper deal, either.

And like that all the Clark nut huggers will claim he was mever good (which he wasnt)

3rd all time postseason sack leader. Yeah, he sucks.

$5.5 million? LMAO

Well, **** that guy! Enjoy your mile high, Shark!

Yeah he does. Would have won both titles without him and probably beaten the Bengals with a DE who actually showed up that game

Zach Allen is much much MUCH better than Frank Clark. Randy Gregory, if/when he's healthy, will be much much MUCH better than Frank Clark.

Jonathan Harris sucks - he's better than Frank Clark. Nick Bonitto is one-dimensional and eminently forgettable but STILL better than Frank Clark. Baron Browning is mostly a meme that demonstrates how reeruned Quesadilla Joe is and he's a better player than Frank Clark.

Frank Clark is a lazy, worthless pile of shit who's done nothing but be the beneficiary of an incredible QB who's given him opportunities to rush the passer and the leagues premier DT who's made those opportunities viable.

He's like, the 5th best edge player on a team that has pretty much ass at edge.

Frank Clark ****ing sucks.

Y’all better gird your loins for a Tyreek-esque heel turn from the Shark.

I would not be surprised if Frank Clark has more production for the Donx than Bradley Chubb has with Dolphins next year.

It’s going to be hard to talk shit when he’s 3-6 in the middle of the season

This move was made for when GregIRy inevitably goes back on IR again.

I think Frank wanted Denver bc he was pissed that Veach axed him. Oh well. It matters not.

Yep. The legend of Playoff Frank ends here. I thank him for his service.

If that puddle of dried smegma actually shows up for the two games against the Chiefs - since he pretty much decides he actually feels like playing for about 15% of his contract - can y'all just finally admit he's a lazy drunk who's content to cash his checks and get arrested?

Well with Burton and now Frank Clark, Denver is definitely a threat…







To finish third in the AFC West ahead of the QB-less Raiders.

Organization signs a player who only shows up in the playoffs when organization has no hope of making the playoffs.

The #PatonPlan strikes again. donkeys

The Raiders who are now looking at Wentz as a possible fall back option.

Raiders only.

He'll be as pivotal to the Donks as the Melvin Gordon addition was to the Chiefs...

Well that sucks.


Thanks for the memories, Frank. See ya when you’re inducted into the Ring of Honor.

And similar to Jamaal Charles as a Bronco.

Knowcrap will be along shortly to tell us this is the missing piece to get them to the SB.

He is DEAD TO ME!!!!!!!

The Broncos are paying Randy GregIRy $16 million and Frank Clark $5.5 million in base salary.

That is amazing LMAO

That was my initial thought when seeing the news.

5.5 million, thats it? Hard to believe we wouldnt have given 5/yr

Because why wouldn't we give $5 million to a guy who was outplayed by Carlos Dunlap?

The only people who think he's worth that were the Shart nuthuggers and the Broncos idiot GM.

Do with that particular peer group what you will.

And beat the drum at Arrowhead.

Someone should send him a case of liquor to celebrate with. Maybe some uzi ammo

The mountain top? The Broncos are that rookie hiker who didn't make it one hundred feet up Mt. Everest before they collapsed and died.

:eek:

Yeah, the Chiefs weren't touching that.

Rocky top maybe

no longer on my favorite team? went to the dirty shitty Broncos?

Ring of honor? What, does EVERYBODY get to be on the ring of honor if they played on those Super Bowl team(s)?

What's next? Hey Andrew Wylie, you were on both Super Bowl teams, so up ya go! There's your name!

Frank can have the cock ring of honor.

$5.5m is nothing. His cap hits were $13.2m last year, and $25.8m the year before that. KC's dead cap this year from cutting Clark is more than that.

Sorry, didn't mean to steal your premise. Should've read the thread before I posted. Great minds think alike :thumb:

Yeaaaah.....so that sucks.

This makes me sad. I was hoping to have him back. Hopefully this opens up revenue to sign that dude from Minnesota, whatever his name is.

Thanks for the playoff performance Frank.

But Really, the Broncos. I guess being homeless at one point now isn't the low point in your life.

He’s not worth 5.5mm given what comparable players are getting. The market’s the market.

Just because he was on sweetheart deals and dramatically overpaid for several years doesn’t mean that people should feel like 5.5mm is some bargain price.

I’m happy he’s gone but wish the dude luck. I loved his swagger and he made being a Chiefs fan more fun.

Austin Reiter not on the team this year.

See ya, Austin. Come back for the ceremony when you get put up on the Ring of Honor.

Oh, I don’t know . . .


4 years in KC, 12 playoff games, 10.5 playoff sacks, 32 tackles, 14 TFLs, and 14 QB hits.


More production in the playoffs than the next 5 Chiefs combined.

I think his attitude will be missed the most

I thought Reiter wasn't on the team, but I saw him in the OTA pics, so he's back.

It's not like he could afford to be extremely choosy.

I'm pretty sure that goes to Chris Jones...

So a guy who inspired a thread with almost 6000 posts about how much he f*%king sucks signs with a team we can't stand and people are sad, saying it's lame, saying it sucks, and wishing we would've paid him $5.5M???

What are comparable players getting? Last season Jerry Hughes got $5m APY coming off a 2 sack season and was 4 years older than Clark is now.

This is amazing and genuinely makes me happy. At risk of repeating DJ...he is a giant, wibbling, mass of sh**. F***ing delighted his legacy now will be what it should be, the distant memory of a grossly overpaid unflushable turd. Guy was a f***ing cadaver on about 95% of snaps.
