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.

Look, everyone! I'm Brandone Beane! Well 3/5ths Brandon Beane I guess.
I'm also wondering if they're trying to see if Josh is really the type of guy who elevates the team around him. The way they restructured his contract, he only has this year and next year with remaining guaranteed salary. Is it possible they move on from him if he can't Mahomes the Bills to success in the next couple of seasons?
