The Denver Broncos are projected to be approximately $30 million over the projected salary cap in 2024. Denverand#039’s top 10 money earners list is why.The earnings of these players will increase to $185 million of the limit, or 76% of the limit. As a result, the Broncos won’t be able to have as many spenders in free agency as they did last year.Let’s face it: the Broncos need help at almost every position on the roster. The two most obvious and pressing needs are point guard and shooting guard. However, the secondary also requires attention.According to Bleacher Report, the Broncos should consider trading wide receiver Jerry Jeudy for Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn. Below is the rationale for B/Rand#039:“Jaycee Horn was selected just one spot ahead of Patrick Surtain II in the 2021 NFL Draft. However, their careers have diverged significantly since then. Surtain has established himself as a premier talent, while Horn has battled injuries and his future is uncertain as he enters the fourth year of his rookie contract. The Broncos don’t have the money to make big trades, so it makes sense to target struggling players with new deals.Korno is in the final year of his four-year, $21.1 million contract. Jeudy is in the fifth year of his option to earn $12.987 million.Jeudy’s time in Denver is more than likely, and it would benefit the Broncos to get the most out of him. But Horn might not be the best choice.While Horn’s career stats are solid (85 total tackles and four interceptions), his injury history is very concerning. He missed most of his rookie year with a foot injury and had a hamstring strain last season.History does not bode well for the Broncos in their pursuit of injury-prone players. While Horn may fit the prototypical cornerback side, his best attribute is his availability. 4,444 4,444 There are plenty of other reliable free agents and draft picks in the AFC West who can help counter the passing offense..
