Even after agreeing to re-sign defensive lineman Shelby Harris to a one-year deal, the Broncos are still projected to have more than $18 million in remaining salary cap space, according to Spotrac.com.
Harris will have a base salary of $2.5 million and a roster bonus of $750,000, according to Spotrac. That brings his 2020 salary cap hit to $3.25 million, which is about 1.52% of the team’s salary cap of $213,959,450.
After re-signing Harris, Denver will be left with $18,479,354 in cap space, according to Spotrac’s estimate. That does not include the cap hits for recently re-signed linebacker Joe Jones and defensive lineman Joel Heath — but both of those defenders should have low cap hits.
If the Broncos do not use all of their remaining cap space this season, the unused cap will roll over for the 2021 season.
Denver might consider making a few more bargain signings. One possible candidate could be cornerback Prince Amukamara, who played with Vic Fangio in Chicago. If he is still available after the draft, Amukarama could make sense as an experienced depth player for the Broncos’ secondary.
