8 Broncos players (and coaches) that will not be back in 2024
Which Denver Broncos players and coaches will likely be gone in 2024?

7. Tim Patrick, WR (at his current price)
These last two will come with some qualifiers, because I truly believe Tim Patrick will be back with the Denver Broncos in 2024...
...but not at his current price.
Tim Patrick is slated to account for over $16 million on next year's salary cap for the Broncos with around $6 million in dead money if he's cut. I think the most likely scenario is we see the Broncos and Tim Patrick rip up the final year of his deal, and maybe sign him to a less risky one-year pact.
But with a $16 million cap hit, there's no way Patrick is going to be back and rocking his new no. 12 with the Broncos absent a new contract.
8. Garett Bolles, OT (at his current price)
The Denver Broncos simply cannot justify the $20 million Garett Bolles is occupying on next year's salary cap. The veteran and former first-round pick has played pretty well in his first year with Sean Payton as the head coach, and I think the Broncos should work to bring him back.

But with the $20 million cap hit and just $4 million in dead money, a rookie left tackle sounds more and more appealing by the day.
The Broncos will likely try to work out an extension with Garett Bolles, but if a deal can't be reached, I don't expect his $20 million cap hit to remain in 2024.
