Denver Broncos 2025 NFL free agency tracker
Mar 10, 2025, 10:57 AM | Updated: Mar 26, 2025, 12:22 pm
Unlike 2024, the Broncos have some room to spend — more than $40 million of cap space as the new league year dawns, per OvertheCap.com. This puts the Broncos 19th in cap space, even though they still have $32 million of dead money left on Russell Wilson’s contract.
So, they’re not out of the woods yet. But they do have room with which to operate.
The Broncos got a jump start the night before the legal tampering period began by re-signing backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham to a 2-year deal.
