Uh oh Joe Mixon

[TecmoBengals]

Is there a usual off-season timeframe when we anticipate cuts happening?

Whether the Bengals cut him for how they view his talent, this incident, financial considerations, or a combination of all the above will probably be unknown to us fans. I'm more interested in when a decision might take place.

Is a Mixon roster cut an immediate decision or one of those situations where the contract dictates they wait months and months to benefit the team?

Enlighten me, fellow Bengals fans.

If they are going to cut him for whatever reason the cap hit for 2023 would be less severe if they do so after June 1st.  I think it would be 2.7 million after June 1st as opposed to 5.5 million before.  Then another 2.7 million in 2024. I might be wrong on those numbers though.  Contract stuff is a bit confusing at times.  :)

Given the gravity of that last sentence, I'd say that it's natural for people to start making assumptions.  Eventually the truth will come out, and everyone can have their "I was right and you were wrong" moments.  However, with how hard this organization has worked to move past the "criminal Bengals" narrative that was established during the Marvin Lewis years, I'd say that fans calling for Mixon's release could be justified in those sentiments.

Ok, he hit the blonde in Oklahoma. What was the 2nd incident, because I do not remember one?

He hit you so hard you got soap opera-style amnesia.

Not sure if they have to wait till the league year starts...

But Before June 1 anyone cut that has dead money applies to this years cap.

After June 1 they can spread the cap hit out over 2 years. instead

Dont know mixons dead money  (i think 5.5 mil)  if hes cut

They can let him know that he is being cut and wait to official to do it after June 1 to save a couple million more dollars.  I have read some here are concerned about doing this early for free agency but we dont have to be under the cap until September 7th.

Threw a parking ticket at whoever gave it to him, and drove his car in that person's direction... Menacing.

You're knocking it out of the park with the solid hooks today.

This whole allegation does not make sense to me. They are saying this happened on the Saturday prior to the Bills game. Does it not occur to anyone that Joe and the rest of the team were traveling to Buffalo? I think this is what he attorney is eluding to when he says "I think the police have the responsibility to do due diligence before they file charges." Even if this was earlier in the day, I find it hard to believe he had time to be out being an outlaw and not home getting ready to leave for Buffalo. Something stinks here. Probably why they are dropping the charges, the story falls apart if Mixon is in Buffalo or on a plane. Would people be so quick to believe this if it was the other Joe?

Thank you.

So if they invest a high draft pick in a RB we can anticipate Mixon is getting cut after 6/1.

I don't think I even heard about that. What became of it?

he was never charged but suspended 1 games i think this was back in college

Per Andrew Clark of OUDaily.com, citing an Oklahoma University Police Department report, Mixon was alleged to have torn up a parking citation and thrown it in the face of a university parking attendant on Nov. 1. 

Mixon was suspended by Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops for the team's Nov. 3 game against Iowa State.

It is much easier for people to jump to conclusions when they've all seen his college video of shame.

It's unfortunate for him, but then again he made that bed.

1 mistake should never vilify someone the rest of their life.

Yeah, well nobody thought that a player (Stanley Wilson?) would go on an all night cocaine binge the night before the Superbowl, either..

So again, when he was still in college. I can't say with any certainty that I ever threw a parking ticket at a "Greenie Meanie" Parking police while at Eastern Kentucky University, but I sure cussed a few.

The original report showed the warrant so that part is true.  It was in my quoted tweet above but they deleted the tweet because they hadn't redacted addresses.  My guess is that the "rush to judgement," if any, was on the part of the charging officer.

I'm hoping for Joe's sake that the officer "rushed to judgement" based on a false report and that Joe has a solid evidence of his innocence.  Preferably video or "I was on a flight out of town."  If it's just a case of the victim dropping charges after a settlement it reflects badly.

Why are you so dismissive of incidents that show a pattern of bad character?
