After making six staff moves last week, the Denver Broncos were left with about $ 22.5 million remaining in the salary cap. Since then, general manager George Paton has made six additional decisions that have affected the team limit.
Here’s a look at the team’s recent moves and estimated limits for 2021.
* These limit figures are estimates and will not be confirmed until the exact details of the contract are known, but these estimates should be fairly close to the actual figures.
Denver saved $ 13,722,834 in maximum space last week and lost $ 11.3 million to make a net profit of $ 2,422,834. After adding to its estimated limit of $ 22.5 million more than last week, the Broncos now have an estimate $24,939,766 in remaining space of plugs.
With nearly $ 25 million available, Denver may not be able to make moves. The Broncos could use quarterback depth, a linebacker coverage and depth on offensive and defensive lines.
Deshuan Watson, quarterback of the Houston jeans, will get a maximum $ 15.94 million this year and is expected to be negotiated. Denver is likely to push Watson once he officially reaches the trading block, but he probably won’t be negotiated until the NFL concludes an investigation into the allegations against the quarterback.
