Denver Broncos have over $16 million in salary cap space

Good morning, Broncos Country.

It took a while for all the contract breakdowns to surface, but now fans have a more concrete idea of where the Denver Broncos stand salary cap wise after their free agent additions.

According to OverTheCap, the Broncos have $17.4 million in salary cap space. However, that doesn’t account for recently signed punter Matt Haack. Factoring in Haack’s deal, Denver has a little more than $16 million in cap space available. That provides them with a lot of flexibility.

Keep in mind, the team’s 2025 NFL Draft class will chip into that portion a bit once the Top 51 are cemented once the roster is finalized. However, it appears the Broncos possess the cap flexibility to make another splash in free agency if they so choose. Perhaps they could entertain bringing someone into the fold via a trade prior to or during this year’s draft. Why not? That seemed to work out for them with Jonathan Franklin-Myers.

If not, they’ll rollover the remainder to 2026 which wouldn’t be a bad decision either. That might be the smart play. Those funds will be useful especially if Zach Allen, Nik Bonitto, or Courtland Sutton agree to terms on contract extensions in the following months.

What do you think, Broncos Country? Do you expect Head Coach Sean Payton and General Manager George Paton to surprise us with another big outside addition? Or do you feel they will stand pat through the draft and extend in-house players? Let me know what you think in the comments section.

As always, thanks for reading. Here is today’s slate of articles for Horse Tracks.
