Denver Broncos defensive tackle Clinton McDonald has agreed to a restructured contract, dropping his base salary from $3 million to $1 million, according to league sources.
The move was likely prompted by McDonald's ability -- or inability in this case -- to pass a physical, as the terms of the deal he signed with Denver earlier this offseason stated that his $3 million base salary for 2018 and a $1 million roster bonus would be fully guaranteed if McDonald were able to pass a physical on or before June 11. Had he been able to pass a physical, he would have earned $4 million guaranteed, though he now is due just $1 million guaranteed in base value of the deal.
