Broncos' 12 biggest salary cap hits in 2026
Ahead of the official start of NFL free agency next week, the Denver Broncos currently have 55 players under contract for the 2026 season. Denver will have to make decisions on in-house free agents , and the team will undoubtedly target players from other clubs.
The Broncos currently have around $26.2 million in available salary cap space, but they could create a lot more through simple restructures . Before making any moves, the team's players with the largest salary cap hits are right tackle Mike McGlinchey ($23,775,000), guard Quinn Meinerz ($21,721,000), guard Ben Powers ($18,155,000), cornerback Pat Surtain ($16,832,000) and defensive lineman Zach Allen ($16,477,000).
