A linebacker who played a brief stint with the Denver Broncos is accused of violating his lease on a mansion once owned by Von Miller.

Frank Clark, who signed with the team in June 2023 and played two games before being released three months later, was sued last week by Oluwole Jolaoso, who owned the home at 17819 E. Easter Ave. heard in Foxfield.

Jolaoso alleges in the lawsuit that in July 2023, Clark agreed to pay $40,000 per month to rent the home between that month and July 2023, excluding utilities and “maintenance costs.”

Clark apparently paid for several months. But after he was cut by the Broncos In mid-October, Clark “shortly left the property and stopped paying rent,” the lawsuit says.

The lawsuit states that the lease required Clark to pay interest at the rate of 18 percent per year on unpaid balances.

Attempts to reach Clark for comment were unsuccessful. No attorney was listed for him in court records as of Monday.

Clark is currently an NFL free agent after no team signed him through the 2024 season. The University of Michigan graduate debuted with the Seattle Seahawks in 2015 and, in addition to the Broncos, played four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he earned two Super Bowl rings.

Jolaoso bought the house in Foxfield, a small community between Aurora and Parker near the Broncos training facility, from Von Miller in November 2022 for $3.7 million. The Buffalo Bills traded for Miller, also a linebacker, a year earlier.

However, the sale was chaotic. Jolaoso financed the purchase with a one-year bridge loan from Miller himself and Miller enforcement proceedings have been initiated when Jolaoso didn’t pay. Jolaoso said he intentionally didn’t pay because Miller didn’t hand over the house in the condition agreed upon, citing in particular problems with a Creston “smart home” system.

The foreclosure proceedings were dropped at the beginning of this year when Miller and Jolaoso changed their loan agreement.

The 19,000 square foot home is available.

“Due to the limited market for the property and despite his best efforts, the plaintiff did so “I was unable to re-rent the home at the time of this complaint,” Jolaoso’s lawsuit states.
