The Denver Broncos have a relatively healthy salary cap situation going into the 2023 season, but that could change if quarterback Russell Wilson doesn’t have a bounce-back season under new coach Sean Payton.
Next year, Wilson will have a salary cap hit of $35.4 million. If the Broncos cut him, it would create an $85 million “dead money” cap hit. In 2025, the quarterback’s “dead money” cap hit would be $49.6 million if he’s cut.
