That was my hope. I’m not sure they didn’t try. But I’ll find out.

Regardless of if you think it’s the right decision to release him or not.

Could they not have done it at the start of the day not at 10pm on the first day of free agency.

Teams will have already filled spots and it leaves Joe with several less possibilities.

He gave us some great memories and didn’t deserve to get the shit end of the stick like this.

It’s bullshit tbh.

They needed to negotiate with the RB they wanted first. Can’t cut Mixon and then not have your back up plan in place.

I'm excited to see how Moss and Brown perform in '24.

RAS is just a synthetic stat. Real world production matters more.

Mixon clearly was not breaking tackles or making the first guy miss anymore and was an average at best pass blocker. It was time. Moss DOES break tackles and cause missed tackles and is also competent pass blocking. This pickup directly addressed a big issue in the run game.

His agent should have set his roster bonus due today rather than Friday if he wanted to be assured that opportunity.

Someone posted his numbers out of shotgun too:

I'm good with this move... it's nice to see the Bengals continue to make value plays.

Wish Mixon well he gave us a good 7 years which is really a long time for an NFL RB.

Cowboys were in the mix today for RB Zack Moss, a person familiar with the discussions said. Ultimately, the price extended past their comfort point. Moss agreed with Bengals on a two-year, $8 million contract that includes $4.525 in earnings this year.

Well, I guess we can clearly state the earlier signing of Geno was not rolling..

I’m really excited about this. I became a big Moss fan this past season as he filled in for JT. Excited to see what he can do.

[BFritz21]

I love it!

I loved Mixon early in his career, I'm glad we drafted him and gave him his second chance, and I appreciate how he played while he was here, but he wasn't good for us anymore.

His lack of ability as a receiver does worry me but I'll take his running from the shotgun as offsetting from that.

NICE WORK BY THE FRONT OFFICE!

[Essex Johnson]

Not a total believer in PFF, but Moss has scored lower than Mixon last three years,
