Broncos have 6th-most salary cap space in the NFL entering 2020 season

The Broncos have a lot of salary cap space remaining.

As the Denver Broncos prepare to face the Tennessee Titans on Monday Night Football in Week 1, the team is in a good salary cap position.

The Broncos currently have the sixth-most salary cap space in the NFL, according to The MMQB’s Albert Breer. Here are the 10 teams with the most salary cap space in the league entering the season:

Team Salary Cap Space
1. Cleveland Browns $34.74 million
2. New England Patriots $32.24 million
3. New York Jets $31.31 million
4. Jacksonville Jaguars $30.95 million
5. Washington Football Team $26.03 million
6. Denver Broncos $25.43 million
7. Detroit Lions $19.64 million
8. Philadelphia Eagles $18.49 million
9. Miami Dolphins $17.09 million
10. Tennessee Titans $17.08 million

The Broncos saved $4.5 million in salary cap space when they cut linebacker Todd Davis last week. New linebacker Mark Barron will have a cap hit of $2.5 million this season.

With few teams allowing fans this season, the NFL’s revenue will take a hit, resulting in a lower salary cap in 2021. The league’s salary cap could be as low as $175 million next season. Whatever cap space the Broncos don’t use this year — currently $25.43 million — will rollover into 2021.
