The Kansas City Chiefs will face a player who helped them win two Super Bowls twice next season when they play the AFC West rival Denver Broncos. 

Veteran lineman Frank Clark is reportedly signing a one-year deal worth up to $7.5 million to join head coach Sean Payton in Denver, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. 

Clark will receive a base salary of $5.5 million with $1 million in "makeable incentives" and another $1 million in more challenging incentives.

Clark was released by the Chiefs after the organization and his agent, Erik Burkhardt, couldn’t work out a new deal. They tried, but ESPN reported in March that they were at a stalemate, and the Chiefs bit the bullet. 

Clark was about to enter the final year of a $30 million, two-year deal he signed with Kansas City, but the Chiefs ended up saving $21 million in salary cap space. 

While looking for his next team, Clark and Payton "hit it off" earlier this week while speaking on the phone, Schefter reported.

"The situation with Sean Payton is good for me," he told CBS Sports’ Josina Anderson. "I get to play alongside Randy Gregory and stay in my division that I am very familiar with. I also want to help the Broncos get back to the mountain top."

Clark, who will soon turn 30, totaled five sacks with 39 combined tackles, one forced fumble and eight tackles
