With NFL free agency less than a month away, the Denver Broncos are pojected to be about $24 million over the salary cap. The Broncos will likely restructure several contracts to create more cap space, and the club can also cut or trade select veterans for additional cap relief.
We’re not listing quarterback Russell Wilson’s (expected) looming release below because that’s going to create a negative cap hit. To counter that “dead money” cap hit, we’ve put together a list of 10 other players that Denver could cut, trade or restructure (with help from OverTheCap.com for the numbers).
The NFL’s free agency negotiating window will open on March 11. The new league year (and full free agency) will begin on March 13.
