Is this true, if so how the heck can we afford much of anything?

We just traded Plummer, so we have more than that.

It probably also includes an unrestructured Dre Bly contract, and probably doesn't include Warren and Rod Smith's restruture.

every report is differant. they dont know who has restructured or who has been released/traded. dont pay attention to it. we wouldnt be going after free agents if we didnt have room somehow.

To get the Bly trade we had to reconstuct Warrens contract. That includes Warrens, but not Bly or Smith.

I hope so. I mean im sure the broncos FO knows what they're doing, i just am wondering what kind of cap hell were gonna be in the following years with all these, im sure, backloaded contracts. I just worry were getting into a Washington type situation here and were gonna be cutting people we dont want too in the long run.

I heard that Champ restructured his contract quietly a couple of days ago and freed up a ton of space
