Broncos salary cap update going into training camp
As the Denver Broncos go into training camp, the team has more than $12.5 million in available salary cap space for the 2025 season. The exact number is uncertain, and the projections vary based on the source. estimates the team has $12,621,678 available. lists the number at $12,928,947. Let's just say it's above $12.5 million. That's enough cap space to give the Broncos wiggle room to add veterans if injuries pop up, and it also gives the team a cushion for when players go on injured reserve and still count against the cap. Denver typically likes to have around $10 million available for the season, so fans shouldn't expect any more big splash moves from the Broncos. Denver might soon begin giving contract extensions to key players, but that wouldn't hurt their 2025 cap space as the team's extension candidates are already signed for this season. The big names to watch on the extension front are wide receiver Courtland Sutton, pass rusher Nik Bonitto and defensive linemen Zach Allen and John Franklin-Myers. The Broncos are probably done signing big-name outside free agents, but notable in-house extensions could be on deck in the coming weeks and months. Stay tuned.

NFL Draft analyst states Spartans QB Aidan Chiles will be a future 'top-5 pick'
I have two takes from watching Aidan Chiles' tape1. He is multiple years away from being ready to start in the NFL, and focusing on him for the 2026 class is probably a waste of time2. At some point in the future, he will be a top-5 pickIdk if I've seen a first-year starter… One NFL Draft analyst believes Michigan State quarterback Aidan Chiles has all the tools to be a top pick in a few years. Popular NFL Draft analyst and write James Foster posted a pair of "takes" on Chiles on social media on Wednesday that generated a lot of buzz. One of which being that he thinks Chiles will be a "top-5 pick" in the 2027 NFL Draft. "I (don't know) if I've seen a first-year starter attack the deep sideline like this," Foster wrote in his social media post. "Arm talent to access the entire field, and rare anticipation for a 19-year old. My early QB1 for the 2027 class" The other notable take from Foster is to essentially not focus on Chiles for the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft as he believes further progression will be needed throughout this upcoming season. Chiles is entering his second season as the Spartans starter, throwing for 2,415 yards, 13 touchdowns and 11 interceptions during his first year. He also ran for 225 yards and three touchdowns last season. You can see the full post from Foster -- which includes a video package that shows Chiles' arm strength and potential that Foster loves: I'm personally all-in on Chiles and have high expectations for him this upcoming season. Like Foster, I want to see more consistency from game-to-game (even possession-to-possession) but believe he has the ceiling to really lift Michigan State this upcoming season. If he hits that ceiling, I would consider Michigan State a lock for a bowl game and even fringe College Football Playoff contender should some other things break the Spartans way. Michigan State opens the 2025 season on August 29 in a home matchup against Western Michigan. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET and will be televised on FS1.

WATCH: Ohio State football head coach Ryan Day has extensive interview with Colin Cowherd
The 2025 version of Big Ten football media days has wrapped up, and that means it's time to turn the page towards the start of fall camp for the Ohio State football team. But the annual spectacle of media members, coaches, and players meeting to unofficially kick off the season gave us plenty of sound bites, moments, and observations to sink our Scarlet and Gray teeth into, so we're still digesting it all. As is always the case, media days also present opportunities for some of the coaches and players to be interviewed by some of the national media, and with the Buckeyes coming off of a College Football Playoff national championship, they were in high demand. Especially considering OSU is expected to have a shot at doing it again. One such interview that took place was Ohio State head coach Ryan Day sitting down with Colin Cowherd to do a wide-ranging spot that touched on many things. From how his team did it last year, to replacing so much talent, to a new quarterback this season, Cowherd was able to get a lot of insight from Day. In case you missed any of the interview, we have it in its entirety, thanks to "The Herd" YouTube channel: This is good stuff here by both and give you a little insight into how coach Day feels about where the program is and where it's heading coming into 2025.
