It's not really as serious as it looks. Like I said, they can kick the can down the road a bit via restructures. Restructuring Allen, Miller, Diggs, and White + cutting Douglas, Harty, and Hines would give them about $25M in cap space.

The problem is you then have 3 players in Miller, Diggs, and White who are over 30 and going to carry cap hits of $20M -$25M+ for the next three years after this one. Generally not a recipe for success.

Were I the GM, the offseason would probably look like this:

1. Restructure Allen
2. Trade Diggs for picks and then try to move up in the draft to grab a WR
3. Designate Von Miller a post-June 1st cut
4. Restructure White and extend Tarron Johnson
5. Cut Douglas, Hines, and Harty

All of those moves would probably get them to $10-$15M under the cap for this season, and give them over $55M in cap space to play with in 2025. They'd also likely be getting comp picks for guys like Davis, Hyde, Floyd, etc.
