As NFL teams navigate salary cap management, players like Alex Singleton and P.J. Locke of the Denver Broncos find their names in potential cut discussions. Singleton's recent struggles with injuries and lack of guaranteed money on his contract make him a prime candidate for release, potentially freeing up $5.6 million in cap space. Meanwhile, Locke's chances also depend on the team's strategy for upgrading the safety position and rebuilding the linebacker room.

If Singleton is released, the Broncos would face a significant overhaul at linebacker, as they explore options to strengthen the unit through free agency. The decision to cut Singleton is complicated by his past performance as a tackling leader but raises questions about his coverage abilities and overall effectiveness after recovery from an ACL injury.
