The Broncos have about $33.1 million in salary cap available, which ranks 17th in the league, according to overthecap.com. Cap room is often misleading, though, because it can be manipulated through the various ways of structuring player contracts. The key is a team’s willingness to spend cold, hard cash.

“We’ve got some room, we’ve got some cap room and we’ve got money,’’ Ellis said. “There’s no cash excuses in our business as far as I’m concerned. Even if times are tight, you’ve got to spend to the salary cap. If it requires you to do a little bit more as far as bonus structure and whatever else you have to do, then you do that as well.

“Every dollar that we earn goes right back into the team to try and make us better. That’s (Bowlen’s) philosophy that’s how he operated and we’re going to carry that forward.’’
