February 27, 20242 yr comment_1738524 I'd rather replace Mixon with Gus Edwards and draft a power back on day 3 as an Evans replacement. We'll probably re-sign Williams if he'll take a vet min deal. If not, so be it. Report

Captain, 1000yard rusher, 50 catches. We see he doesn't have the explosion but he gives them some stability. I get most excited about a 2 year deal for Moss. Report

I’d welcome his addition to this team as a Mixon replacement, now or eventually. Mixon is as reliable as it gets, meaning you know he’s not pass blocking (kind of a big deal) but the other aspects of the position he performs fairly well without providing the explosion of most backs. A great pass catcher and a great teammate. Great teammate but a dick to everyone outside of Paycor, with the exception of charity events (an extension of Paycor almost). Will that be enough to keep him here this final year? I think they keep him around for this final run at a SB. I’m ok either way if he stays or goes this year but he’s very replaceable. An average back at best these days. Report
February 27, 20242 yr comment_1738554 Agree that Mixon is average but he's paid as a top 10 back. He should be replaced. Report

Ther other side of that is just don't pay him as well! I have been ignoring the possibility Perine is back. Whats better Mixon-Brown-Rookie-Williams Brown-Perine-Rookie-Williams Report

So I'm not afraid of bringing him in but we should be looking for a younger version in the draft as well. I'd prefer Estime but Allen would be ok too. Report

Believe they'll be gone before Bengals would pull the trigger on a RB.. But yeah both are ballers. Report

Anyone else and he's already bailing out for a swing pass which the QB might have to throw under duress instead of blocking and letting the QB look for his main targets. Same ole same ole.. Report

According to Spotrac, Mixon will make $5.75 million in 2024 with a cap number of $8.85 million. He will count $2.75 million in dead cap space if released. He’s no longer one of the highest paid RB after restructuring his deal last year and I doubt he’ll be cut. Report

Dehner says the team saves 6.1 mil by cutting Mixon so there must be some workout or roster bonuses in there too. Report
