The Denver Broncos’ highest-paid player in 2012 wasn’t Peyton Manning. It was Elvis Dumervil. But that’s not entirely shocking if you’re keeping track (Manning will cash in down the road).

Some of the other numbers, though, are certainly interesting. And they could be big clues about who gets a raise this offseason and who gets jettisoned.

The Broncos defense was the highest paid unit in the NFL this season at $70.2 millon — that’s about 58 percent of the NFL salary cap (which was $120.6 million in 2012). The Denver offense accounted for only $55.2 million — that ranks 14th in the NFL.

I deem this thread fertile ground for Rahim Moore bashing. Proceed.

I don't think so - take it to any one of the other 20 threads where his bashing has/is going on.

The numbers will change this season. Clady will get paid, and DJ will more than likely get dumped. That will just about even things out. It will be interesting to see where our free agent dollars go.

Gotta love the responses attached to that article calling for "chump" to be cut.
