Broncos have 3rd-highest salary cap rollover total in the NFL

After rolling over their unused cap space from 2021, the Broncos are expected to have around $50M in cap space this offseason.

The Denver Broncos have $11,282,344 worth of unused salary cap space from the 2021 NFL season, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.

That’s the third-highest rollover total in the NFL this season, trailing only the Philadelphia Eagles ($16,481,403) and Jacksonville Jaguars ($25,752,355).

The Broncos’ official rollover number won’t be finalized until after the NFL audits each team’s books, but it will likely be pretty close to $11 million.

Denver currently has $171,798,504 worth of contracts counting against its 2022 salary cap, according to OverTheCap.com. Subtracted from the NFL’s $208.2 million salary cap, that would leave the team with $36,401,496 in cap space before adding unused cap from 2021.

With the team’s $11 million-plus rolling over from this past season, the Broncos are currently estimated to have about $47,683,840 in salary cap space this offseason. Again, that’s not an official or final number, but the team’s cap total should be in that ballpark.

Denver already created some extra cap room by restructuring the contract of guard Graham Glasgow, and more cap-related moves could be on the way. The new league year — and NFL free agency — will begin on March 16.
