When people say they are "mortgaging the future" to win now. That just means giving up draft picks.
OBJ and Von Miller were on 1 year deals. OBJ might cut them a break and come back for less than he could sign for elsewhere.
All of their stars are still locked up. And if Donald does retire, the team will get a ton of money free to go on a shopping spree.

Currently, they are $10million over the cap, which isn't overly concerning, but still...
I gotta imagine Whitworth retires, I don't know what that does with the cap but saves them a ton...but also makes them require a new LT.
OBJ tore his ACL and won't be back until Novemberish at the best I imagine. Not sure what kind of contract he will be getting.
Von Miller is probably gone.
It wouldn't be so bad getting replacements, but they have extremely little draft capital. I would say they could replace Whitworth with Tunsil, but they have nothing to trade away now.
Can they repeat? I think they have a shot of course, but looking at it now with the potential roster shake up...I'm not so sure.
