134 carries last year and a long rush of just 16. Only 2 broken tackles according to PFR. The worst qualified RB in yards after contact in the NFL last year, 44th out of 44.

Would not be shocked if he's not on a roster when the 2024 season starts.

With how little we rush, I would give Ekeler a chance if he's willing to come here cheapish ($3m + incentives?) on a 1 year deal to try to win.

Remember when Hunt wanted to get a raise from the Browns?  Yeah, that was great..


Mixon's Expected To Be Released - The D.O.Z. - 03-07-2024

Gimme Antonio Gibson at under $5 million AAV if possible. Draft a bruiser-type in the middle rounds like that kid in Wisconsin. Use Chase Brown. RBBC locked in for 2024+


RE: Mixon's Expected To Be Released - reuben.ahmed - 03-07-2024

I think he stays, as a #2 on the bench.

Jacobs $10.6
Henry $10.3
Saquon $9.9
Ekeler $7.4
D' Swift $6.7
Pollard $6.5
Moss $4.6
AJ Dillon $3.5

where would Joe Mixon rank if we cut him loose ?

And who do you sign, if anyone ?

Who's the best blocker ?

Same reason everyone seems to want really old safeties?

Moss and Dillon are also pretty good blockers but yeah, Singletary is the best and honestly has a bit more speed than both of these guys.

I like Moss though a bit better than Dillon because of the YPC and the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. But yeah, Devin I would like.

Eh, Singletary is a better pass blocker than Mixon and has better balance and vision and can break tackles and make people miss.

Foreman is faster than Mixon, has better balance and can break tackles better.

Both would be cheaper too.

Pass on Dillon and give us Brealon Allen in the draft.

I've been on the Allen train.


Maybe cut Mixon, sign Singletary for a 2yr/$6-7mill deal, and draft Allen.

I've been calling it that he's not going anywhere.

The team will probably see what they can get in free agency before Mixon's roster bonus kicks in. If they don't get anyone, then they'll probably kick Mixon. 


The Bengals were looking for a RB last year in free agency, despite what our new Brian P says. Multiple beat guys said they were in touch. They just didn't want to pay much.

Singletary Market Value & Projected Contract

NFL Rank: 347
RB Rank: 12


RE: Mixon's Expected To Be Released - Mike M (the other one) - 03-08-2024

I know many of you want Mixon gone, but i doubt he's going anywhere until a replacement is in hand that is not drafted.
If we draft someone, we will likely keep him so we can confidently consider him replaced.

there's no need to upset the apple cart when we are trying to make a run at a SB.

Thanks.
That's a bit more than I would offer.

I tend to agree. But Mixon has a roster bonus that hits next week. Around $3 mil. After that, any cap savings are cut in half (from $6.5 now). 
If the whole point is to save cap......


RE: Mixon's Expected To Be Released - samhain - 03-08-2024

I'm skeptical that they'll move one, but it makes sense for them to. He's limited in pass blocking and isn't great at breaking tackles. I'm not sure that I think he's a guy that's going to get a huge upgrade if he leaves. The days of this team having running backs on significant contracts are probably over for the remainder of the Burrow era.

I guess what I'm saying is, they don't need someone that's worlds better than Joe. He's been a fine player. They need someone with a different skill set to serve this system.

A RB that can protect the passer and break tackles? Yes please.

People don't like to admit it but last offseason things didn't work out at all how they hoped. I still believed they expected to keep Bell and Perine. It was borderline a disaster of an offseason for them.

The Burrow effect coming off of a SB and AFCC game did nothing to help them keep players, or even get a discount for those wanting to "win a SB".
