Broncos salary cap update after initial waves of NFL free agency

[ASFN Admin]

The Denver Broncos made a big splash during the second week of NFL free agency when they acquired wide receiver Jaylen Waddle in a trade with the Miami Dolphins.

The Broncos inherited the remaining three years on Waddle's contract, which includes a team-friendly salary cap hit just over $4.9 million in 2026. Following that addition, Denver has about $19 million in remaining salary cap space, according to an estimate from OverTheCap.com. That's certainly enough to make a few more signings.
