"I need to be here too"

[Luvnit2]

I have mentioned it in numerous threads, I think Boyd may be cut in 2023 and Mixon in 2024. Or they would have to restructure and take less money which I see neither doing.

Boyd - 2023 Dead money of 1.4 million, but we save 8.9 million in cap space
Mixon - 2024 Dead Money 2.8 million, but save 10.3 million in cap space

Also cut Brandon Wilson in 2023, save 2 million with no dead cap

The cap savings can go towards extensions for Burrow and Higgins (Chase has 3 years left) and added to our already very good cap surplus

The Bengals have some big decisions to make in 2023 with Bates, Bell, Pratt, Apple and a few others. There is a lot of money invested on the defensive side of the ball now, in the future that will need to even out as offense has a lot of rookie deals.
