The Denver Broncos aren’t hurting for cap space, but which players could ultimately be cap casualties to free up spending space in 2019?
The Denver Broncos don’t have a desperate need for cap space in the 2019 offseason, as they are currently armed with an estimated $40.5 million in total cap space.
Of course, along with that amount of cap space comes a variety of holes to fill on the roster and sometimes general managers are required to get a little creative to fit things under the cap. Will John Elway have to make some moves on the roster to create some additional cap space?
Even if he doesn’t need the cap space, Elway could justify moving on from certain players who haven’t been living up to their contract or who could be upgraded in free agency, resulting in additional cap space.
Even with some high dead money hits, there are players the Broncos could move on from this offseason that would result in the cap space being nearly doubled.
Let’s take a look at which players could be asked to either take a pay cut or get cut from the Broncos this offseason, and the implications it would have on the Broncos’ cap if they are let go.
