Broncos salary cap update after team made option bonus decisions
The Broncos don't have much salary cap space remaining after the club rescinded Courtland Sutton's option bonus.
The Denver Broncos have made option bonus decisions on several key players, which has significantly impacted their salary cap situation for the 2026 NFL season. According to OverTheCap.com, the team now has approximately $6.5 million in remaining cap space, placing them 25th out of 32 teams in the league. Wide receiver Courtland Sutton was the only player with his option rescinded, resulting in a larger cap hit for the season but smaller ones in the future, making it relatively easy for Denver to remove the receiver from the contract early if desired.
With $6.5 million in cap space available, the Broncos have the flexibility to make in-season adjustments and accommodate players who may become injured, still counting against the cap during the current season. Unused cap space will carry over to the 2027 season, increasing the team's total cap for the following year.
