This season, Jones will have a $4.49 million base salary with another $510,000 coming from per-game roster bonuses. His total 2025 salary cap will be $6.6 millionand he'll have $5 million guaranteed.

In the final year of his contract, Jones will have a $12.235 million base salary with $765,000 coming from per-game roster bonuses giving him a total 2027 salary cap hit of $15.6 million. He will not have guaranteed money that season, so the Broncos could cut Jones in 2027 and save $10.8 million.
Denver added two void years to the end of Jones' contract and that will result in a $3.2 million salary cap hit in 2028 even after his deal is over, according to OTC . Jones will be 33 when his contract voids in 2028.
