The Denver Broncos have the second-cheapest starting quarterback-wide receiver-running back trio in the NFL, according to Michael Ginnitti of Spotrac.com.
Broncos quarterback Drew Lock and receiver Courtland Sutton are still playing on their rookie contracts, which makes them bargains at their positions. Lock will have a cap hit of $1,593,368 this season and Sutton will have a cap hit of $1,865,978 this year.
Melvin Gordon, who is expected to serve as Denver’s starting running back, has a cap hit of $7 million. That brings the trio’s total to $10.4 million.
The Broncos would have the cheapest trio in the league if Phillip Lindsay was considered Denver’s starter. Lindsay, still on his rookie deal, will have a cap hit of $755,000 this season. The trio of Lock-Sutton-Lindsay have combined cap hits of $4,214,346, a huge bargain.
The Dallas Cowboys ($54.3 million) have the most expensive trio in the NFL and the Washington Redskins ($7.4 million) have the cheapest trio.
