Broncos salary cap update going into the summer

The Broncos have around $9 million in remaining salary cap space going into the summer.

Even after signing outside linebacker Frank Clark to a one-year deal, the Denver Broncos still have a healthy salary cap situation.

The team’s exact cap space is hard to estimate and different sources return different totals. NFLPA records indicate Denver has $6,551,130 in cap space, but that total lists 91 players on the roster and it’s outdated (the Broncos currently have 90 players on the roster).

OverTheCap.com, a website that tracks NFL cap space, projects that Denver has $8,805,976 in remaining salary cap space. It appears that the OTC total is a little too low.

Last week — after the Clark signing — ESPN’s Field Yates shared a list of the official cap space for all 32 teams. The Broncos have exactly $9,451,530 in remaining camp space, if Yates’ information is accurate.

With some creative cap work — such as restructuring select contracts — Denver could find room to add another big-name free agent such as running back Dalvin Cook. Otherwise, the team’s unused cap space from this season will roll over and be added to the team’s 2024 salary cap total.
