Broncos lose 4.5m in cap space -immediately- to repay loan to league.
They only have about 9m in cap space left after rookie pool.

It's pretty awesome to watch Dorsey work. He keeps almost every single free agent he can, proactively re-signs his own picks who have produced for him and maxes out the cap each year by doing so.
He's pretty much exactly who we all hoped he would be and the guy we all wanted through the Peterson/Pioli years.
It's fun to watch Denver implode in the post Manning era.
The parts of that championship defense have almost all left or are getting past ripe in their careers.
Gone:
Trevathan
Williams
Ware
Jackson
Getting old
Ward
Talib
Lost Wade Phillips
A new coach who is completely green.
Gonna be a really fun rivalry going forward.
Especially if KC gets a better QB.

Denver is imploding... really? That's interesting, as while they're not as stellar as their last two SB teams, they're not that far from being able to still win the division. Say whatever you want about 2016, that was definitely an adjustment year.
If Denver falls and hovers around .500 in 2017, sure you can talk about them being in dire straits, but this can still be a 10+ win team and compete for the division. All things continue to run through NE and as you pointed out, as long as Alex is KC's QB... it's all up for grabs.
Home opponents: Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers,
New England Patriots, New York Jets,
Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Cincinnati Bengals.
Away opponents: Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers,
Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, Indianapolis Colts.
I like the way it sets up with those bolded teams playing in Denver, and I think the road games are about as good as you could hope for in 2017.
Splits in the division wouldn't shock me, across the board. It will be interesting to see how the schedule plays out... but @ Bills, @ Dolphins, @ Eagles, @ Skins ... I like those game. Not sure how to view the Colts really.
Patriots, Giants, Cowboys and Bengals - all in Denver, much better than meeting those teams on the road.
