With the NFL's overall salary cap rise, the Broncos went from being almost $25 million over the salary cap to being around $10 million over the cap. But their available cap space really isn't altered by Russell Wilson's current deal. The team will have dead money on the cap with zero savings if/when he's released.

Now, we have to determine which way the Broncos will go about it. The dead cap percentage of 20.8 percent if the Broncos eat $53 million this year and $35.4 million next year might be the way to go. It would allow the team to eat the biggest portion of dead cap right away while also owing Wilson $39 million in cash.

By the 2025 offseason, the salary cap will go up again. The percentage of the $35.4 million next offseason will dwindle even further than the 13.9 percent it would account for 2024. The salary cap will undoubtedly increase again in 2025, meaning the Broncos could free up $37 million in cash and have a much lower percentage of dead cap in 2025 if they do the difficult thing and eat the larger portion in 2024

Vikings and Falcons want a QB. It will be a bidding war for McCarthy and Denver doesn't have draft capital.

I could see them going after Sam Darnold or Mac Jones as a bridge QB

From the Athletic

to read between the lines.

“I saw this humorous meme the other day of a Broncos fan with a shirt on and there were like eight quarterbacks names with a cross through it, and he’s drinking the quarterback Kool-Aid,” Payton said of the passers who have shuffled through Denver since Peyton Manning retired in 2016. “Our job is to make sure this next one doesn’t have a line through it.”

Wilson: 'I hope I get to finish' in Denver as decision looms

In other words, the search for Wilson’s replacement in Denver is well underway. Payton said the final decision with the veteran quarterback will come sometime in the “next two weeks,” and it appears all that is left for the Broncos is determining the specifics of how they’ll handle the $85 million dead-money hit will result from releasing the 35-year-old veteran ahead of his 13th NFL season

$85 dead cap and they're going to pull the trigger rather than keep him around. That has to be the absolute worst trade and sign in NFL history. :-). And the GM that did it still has his job. Amazing!

Sean Payton on evaluating QBs this offseason: "I think we’ll be really good at this and to some degree we’re glad that a lot of people aren’t.” #9sports

The funniest part is he's never actually drafted and developed a QB of his own in nearly 20 years. He and Drew Brees were brought in the same offseason in New Orleans so can we even give him credit for 'evaluating' Brees? The fuck is he so cocky for?

Also the dipshit with a bizarre obsession with Taysom Hill. Even started that guy at QB.

Remember when you predicted the Chiefs wouldn’t make the playoffs before this past season?
