The Denver Broncos have a healthy salary cap situation going into the summer with about $9.5 million in remaining cap space, enough to make some in-season moves if needed due to injuries.
Of the team’s 12 players with the largest salary cap hits this season, six play on defense, five play on offense and one plays on special teams, according to the cap charges listed on OverTheCap.com.
