Broncos Gain $71M Cap Space for Offseason

0:00On February 27, the NFL announced on Friday that the salary cap for 2026 will hit $301.2 million per team. That's a $22 million increase from next year's cap in 2025. This junk continues a strong upward trend, putting the cap $103 million higher than the $198.2 million. For the Denver Broncos, the news spells flexibility as free agency kicks off next month. They're already in a solid spot cap wise, giving them room to build without major cuts. They could unlock up to about $71.7 million more through straight forward contract tweaks, though they're not expected to use. Every option. Overall, this sets the Broncos up nicely to chase talent and stay competitive in the coming off season push.
