Broncos Consider Trading Ben Powers, Freeing Cap Space

0:00On March 2nd, Denver Broncos left guard Ben Powers wrapped up a mixed 2025 season. He held up well in past protection with a low pressure rate, but the team's run game ranked just 16th in yards. Power started 8 of 10 games before a torn left bicep, sidelined him for 9 straight weeks. His injury recovery came late as he returned in week 16 and reclaimed his starting spot for the final three games. Still, the Broncos see room to improve at the position heading into the off season. Powers carries a hefty contract with a nearly $12 million base salary next year, plus bonuses and a cap hit ranking 7th among left. Guards, releasing him could free up over 8 million in cap space, though it comes with some dead money. Team officials want to avoid a straight cut and are actively shopping the 29 year old for a trade. They hope to land draft picks in return, rather than eating the full financial hit. A deal would shift his one year deal worth about $13 million to another team.
