Bucs DT Clinton McDonald signs with Broncos

Few free agent signings have played well enough to make it to the end of their contracts with Tampa Bay in recent years, but defensive tackle Clinton McDonald was one.

McDonald, 31, likely saw the writing on the wall last week when the Bucs signed two defensive tackles in Philadelphia's Beau Allen and Chicago's Mitch Unrein. After four years in Tampa, he signed a two-year deal with the Broncos on Wednesday.

McDonald had five sacks last season, second-best on the team behind Gerald McCoy despite starting only three games. He was more impressive off the field, honored as the Bucs' Man of the Year for his continued work in the community, especially with military families.
