A day after running back Lance Ball signed his restricted free-agent tender, tackle Chris Clark did the same on Wednesday.

Clark will enter his fourth NFL season in 2013. The offensive lineman appeared in all 16 regular-season games in each of the past two years with the Broncos, along with all three postseason contests during that span. He is one of six Broncos that have accomplished that feat.

Last year he did not allow a sack or commit a penalty. For Clark’s career, he has committed just two penalties and given up one sack in 40 regular-season and three postseason games.

Clark joined the Broncos via waivers from Minnesota on Sept. 5, 2010 after spending the 2008 and 2009 seasons on the Vikings’ practice squad. He entered the NFL as a college free agent with Tampa Bay in 2008.

Last season, it was commonplace for fans to hear the referee announce, “No. 75 is eligible” as the Broncos broke the huddle.

Tackle Chris Clark was often used as an eligible receiver and extra blocking tight end in Denver’s jumbo formations in 2011.

While he is sticking with his natural position of tackle so far in training camp, Clark says that experience a year ago helped his game.
