The NFL salary cap for 2024, announced on Friday, grants the Denver Broncos and Sean Payton more financial flexibility than initially anticipated. This could potentially provide them with an advantage over many teams in the NFL.

The salary cap plays a significant role in shaping the futures of players like Russell Wilson, Garett Bolles, Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, and Justin Simmons. It impacts contract negotiations, player movement, and team-building strategies for both the Broncos and other franchises.

Despite having the third-longest odds to win the 2025 Super Bowl, it’s important to note that odds don’t always reflect a team’s true capabilities accurately. The Denver Broncos may not necessarily be one of the worst teams in the NFL; their performance could be comparable to teams like the Las Vegas Raiders, New England Patriots, New York Giants, and Washington Commanders.

Drafting a quarterback such as Bo Nix, J.J. McCarthy, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, or Michael Penix Jr. could potentially impact the Broncos’ Super Bowl odds, depending on various factors including the rookie’s performance, development, and how they mesh with the team’s overall strategy.

In terms of odds comparison, the Denver Broncos’ standing against teams like the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs may fluctuate based on offseason moves, roster changes, and overall team performance.
