Broncos' Free Agency: A Potential Game-Changer
Broncos Country is buzzing with anticipation as we approach a potentially thrilling free agency period. There's talk swirling around the possibility of Antonio Brown joining the Broncos. While his hefty contract might raise eyebrows, pairing him with the current coach and quarterback could be electrifying.
The Broncos are on the hunt for a running back, and nearly every free agent seems to be in the conversation. With their impressive 2025 season, their draft capital isn't sky-high, but the team is finally free from the constraints of the Russell Wilson contract, boasting around $28 million in cap space.
But don't let that figure fool you. The Broncos have options to expand their cap space.
Players like Mike McGlinchey, Ben Powers, Dre Greenlaw, and others could be cut to free up funds. There's also the possibility of converting salaries into signing bonuses, giving GM George Paton room to maneuver.
While creating an additional $30-$40 million in cap space might be a stretch, strategic cuts and adjustments could pave the way for significant moves.
The Walton-Penner ownership group, alongside Sean Payton and George Paton, has expertly steered the Broncos through a challenging rebuild. With that phase behind them, they're now poised to aim for even greater success.
