Ben Powers contract details: Broncos get big salary cap relief

News broke earlier this week that Denver Broncos left guard Ben Powers agreed to take a pay cut, but the details of his restructured contract weren’t revealed at the time.

Thanks to a new report from the Denver Post‘s Parker Gabriel, we now know that Powers’ base salary has dropped from $12.49 million with no guarantees down to $4.65 million. The restructured deal includes a $500,000 signing bonus and up to $850,000 through per-game roster bonuses. He gets $5 million guaranteed and can earn up to an additional $2 million through incentives.

It’s essentially a one-year, $6 million contract for Powers, bringing his revised salary cap hit down to $10.6 million. Before the restructure, Powers had the second-largest cap hit on the team at $18.155 million. Denver has now saved about $7.55 million in 2026 salary cap space, bringing their available cap to approximately $37 million.

Any unused cap space the team does not use this season will roll over and increase their 2027 cap total. Some of that extra cap space could go toward upcoming contract extensions for in-house players.
