What happened: The Denver Broncos are assessing their roster makeup after retaining the core of their AFC Championship Game roster. Denver kept its veteran foundation intact heading into the 2026 campaign to pursue another deep postseason run.

Why it matters: Denver holds under $5 million in salary cap space ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline, limiting flexibility for major additions. Maintaining the established group places the burden of contention on internal progression as the midseason schedule intensifies.

By the numbers: Denver is 5-2 and holds the No. 5 seed in the AFC following a 30-16 road victory over the Arizona Cardinals. The team enters Sunday with a three-game winning streak.

What to watch: The Broncos face the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday before the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 10.
