One of the worst contracts we have seen in the league in a while. They kept him around for 2 years longer than they should have and still ate a ton of money.

Well he’s made his money. If he wants to come back to the buckeye state and play for $2 mil I’d gladly sign him. He can block and be a good short yardage back still. Even though he is nowhere near what he once was.

Restructure Mixon...sign Zeke at a reasonable rate as 3rd down back. I am thinking he is probably still better than Perine.

Elliott has nearly 2000 carries if counting reg+postseason.
He's averaged nearly 284 carries a season in his 7-year career.
But that's heavily weighted by his first 4 years in the league.
Nowadays, he's more in the 225-250 range, which is more about in Mixon's range.
I dunno if I'd expected a marked improvement over Mixon when it comes to running/receiving, but I do think he'd be an upgrade as a blocker and could ultimately save the Bengals some money. He'd have to be willing to sign for under $7 mill if he's going to save the team money though.
