The Denver Broncos aren't meeting expectations coming into this season. While injuries have played their part in the team's lack of success, overall they're just not cutting it.
To no one's surprise, the Broncos are believed to be on the verge of a flash sale. With their inability to win games, despite the resurgence of Russell Wilson as an actual NFL quarterback this season, the team might be looking to reset.
That sentiment is furthered by the recent decision regarding Frank Clark, someone the team brought in earlier this offseason and was hoping would provide a much-needed boost to the defensive side of the football.
The organization made it official that both parties have agreed to a pay cut that will take Clark's $3.5M base salary down to the veteran minimum, $841k. The team gave back Clark $1.679M as a part of the restructure.
Clark's restructure has many to believe that his trade will be imminent. The team reducing his cap hit makes him a much more valuable target on the open market and furthers the idea that the team is looking to trade away some assets.
With the team already parting ways with Randy Gregory, and now Clark looking to be shipped off sooner rather than later, it could be a domino effect with several players being traded away.
Obviously, one of the biggest trade pieces, and one that's been rumored for months was that of WR Jerry Jeudy. With Gregory already gone and the team seemingly looking to ship Clark, don't be surprised if a few more names are rumored to be departing as well.
With another brutal loss, it may not just be players on the way out as the Broncos' front office has some of the hottest seats in sports right now. The fans deserve better, one way or another this team is going to start to look a lot different.
Latest trade could signal the start of Broncos’ fire sale
The Denver Broncos appear to be open for business ahead of the NFL’s trade deadline.
