The Broncos shaved $14.99 million of cap room Wednesday, but it came at a big price for talent.
The Broncos released three starters -- defensive end Trevor Pryce, running back Mike Anderson and tight end Jeb Putzier in moves that pull the team within a couple of millions of the $92 million salary cap.
Pryce had a $10.2 million cap number and his release saves $8.5 million of cap room. There had no been much talk about him adjusting his salary. The same happened to Anderson, who had a $2.565 million salary that he is now not going to receive.
Putzier and Stephen Alexander shared the tight end position, but Alexander ended up starting more games.
