In terms of salary cap hits in Year 1, the Denver Broncos’ biggest signing of free agency was not guard Ben Powers ($5.25 million) or right tackle Mike McGlinchey ($6 million), but defensive lineman Zach Allen ($7.25 million).
Allen agreed to terms on a three-year, $45.75 million contract with the Broncos on Monday. This year, Allen will have a low base salary of just $2.25 million, similar to Powers and McGlinchey. His $15 million signing bonus will be prorated as $5 million cap hits over the next three seasons.
