Bengals were smart by not guaranteeing 4.1 million just in case the market flipped or he got hurt. As for Mixon, as I said, this thread is about Gio being cut, not Mixon was cut. Did Bengals overpay Mixon for his production in 2020, yes they did. Did the overpay Geno and Green for their 2020 production, yes they did.
It happens, but point is an easy one, Gio had a 2021 value of 1.4 million. If you think some team offered him 2,5 million and he said no thanks I have swamp lane in Florida to sell you for 50K an acre.
Can we sign a 1.2 million dollar backup rb for 1.4 million versus 4.1, I say they can if they feel the need. That leaves 2,7 million to sign a guard (crazy by Bengals to pay a backup RB more than not 1 but 2 starting guides, so they fixed the mistake by asking him for a reduction in pay, he said no and they cut him) and hopefully will use the money more wisely this time around.
Awesome. They can sign a back up quality OG who will come with some sort of question mark for that price at this time. That will really help.
As far as finances, I don’t worry over 1% of my discretionary spending when I still have an additional 14% left to spend. Especially when I already accounted for that 1% in my budget. And with the Bengals and myself, we can easily create an additional 1% in spending if needed.
