According to Field Yates of ESPN, defensive lineman Clinton McDonald failed his physical on June 11, which dropped his base salary from $3 million to $1 million. McDonald, 31, will have a chance to earn it all back if he makes the final 53-man roster and if he is on the team’s 46-man game day roster each week of the regular season.

The Broncos signed McDonald to a 2-year deal during free agency after he played four-years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also spent time with the Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl championship team after beginning his career with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2009 as a seventh-round draft pick.
