Going into the 2026 NFL trade deadline, OverTheCap.com estimated the Denver Broncos had about $4.6 million in available salary cap space.
The Broncos then agreed to trade a pair of draft picks to the Los Angeles Chargers
in exchange for inside linebacker Daiyan Henley. With that trade, Denver inherited what's left of the fourth and final year of Henley's rookie contract, about $1.837 million for the second half of the season.So, after accounting for Henley's cap hit of just over $1.8 million, the Broncos have something in the ballpark of about $2,765,451 in remaining cap space this season. Denver will have to keep a cushion for potential in-season signings and the possibility of players landing on injured reserve and still counting against the cap.
Any unused salary cap space the Broncos do not use this season will roll over and add to the team's 2027 total. OTC currently projects Denver will have about $30.46 million available next offseason.
