After making six changes to the squad last week, the Denver Broncos were left with about $ 22.5 million in remaining wage cap space. Since then, general manager George Paton has made six additional decisions that have affected the team’s capitalization.
Here’s a quick look at the team’s recent moves and the estimated limits for 2021.
* These threshold adjustments are estimates and will not be confirmed until the exact details of the contract are known, but these estimates must be very close to the actual numbers.
Denver saved $ 13,722,834 in cap space last week and lost $ 11.3 million with a net gain of $ 2,422,834. After adding to their estimated $ 22.5 million cap last week, the Broncos now have an estimate $24,939,766 in remaining coverage space.
With nearly $ 25 million available, Denver may not have finished making moves. The Broncos could use quarterback depth, a coverage linebacker and depth in both offensive and defensive lines.
Houston Texans quarterback Deshuan Watson will have a maximum of $ 15.94 million this year and is expected to be traded. Denver is likely to push Watson as soon as he officially enters the trading bloc, but he is unlikely to be negotiated until the NFL completes an investigation into the charges against the defender.
