Broncos have 6th-most salary cap space in the NFL entering 2020 season

As the Denver Broncos prepare to face the Tennessee Titans on Monday Night Football in Week 1, the team is in a good salary cap position.

The Broncos currently have the sixth-most salary cap space in the NFL, according to The MMQB’s Albert Breer. Here are the 10 teams with the most salary cap space in the league entering the season:

Team Salary Cap Space
1. Cleveland Browns $34.74 million
2. New England Patriots $32.24 million
3. New York Jets $31.31 million
4. Jacksonville Jaguars $30.95 million
5. Washington Football Team $26.03 million
6. Denver Broncos $25.43 million
7. Detroit Lions $19.64 million
8. Philadelphia Eagles $18.49 million
9. Miami Dolphins $17.09 million
10. Tennessee Titans $17.08 million

The Broncos saved $4.5 million in salary cap space when they cut linebacker Todd Davis last week. New linebacker Mark Barron will have a cap hit of $2.5 million this season.

With few teams allowing fans this season, the NFL’s revenue will take a hit, resulting in a lower salary cap in 2021. The league’s salary cap could be as low as $175 million next season. Whatever cap space the Broncos don’t use this year — currently $25.43 million — will rollover into 2021.
