|High School Harry| Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 30 minutes ago, SmoothD said: I'm starting to wonder if we are going to resign Mixon. Perine got the majority of the snaps in the Chiefs game and is more than capable of being the feature back. Also Chris Evans has been a healthy scratch for multiple games this year. Almost seems as if the backfield will consists of Perine and Evans next season. I would be OK with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spotto Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Mixon is interesting, is it him or the game plan? when the run game is hot, Mixon has been hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im thinkng they look for another RB in late rounds to challenge his roster spot.. Tteyveon Williams is still here as well.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he runs confidently he's a force. When he doesn't, he's lame. I know there aren't all that many holes created by the OL, but he makes it worse running high and dancing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember radio announcer saying Perine runs under the defenders shoulders or helmets.. Mixon runs straight up and easier to bring down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Yes, Mixon is under contract for 2023. So he doesn't need to be re-signed. But he's overpaid for what he provides and has lost a step. I wouldn't be surprised if he's cut this offseason and would be surprised if he plays out this year and next on his current deal. We could find a good RB in the 4th or 5th round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could find a good RB in the 4th or 5th round. Mixon is set to be the 7th highest paid RB in 2023 at 12mil.. Dead money releasing him would be only be a 5.5mil hit.. Yes they could move on.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_C_Deadpeople Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 I actually think they will move on from Mixon. The team has become a bit more clinical with contracts , and rightly so, you have to look at the cost in the next year and the value and he does not bring it. Work on the OL , sign JB and the 2 WRs and I don’t even care who the RB is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Yeah, I'd rather keep Wilson for 12 mil (or Hurst+Bell or Apple, etc) than Mixon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOF dan Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/nfl/bengals/2023/02/06/joseph-ossai-trey-hendrickson-afc-title-game-cincinnati-bengals/69875833007/ not sure if this was posted somewhere or not but it's awesome enough to post again. I just read this and it gives me great hope for the future of this team (not that I didn't already have it). How can you NOT love these guys? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dub Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Was just the last bad call in a game that will only be remembered for terrible calls. Ossai's best days are still ahead of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
