If the team requests the restructure, I could see them waiting until after the draft. They always have the replacement on the team when cutting someone. They may be skittish to enter thee draft without Mixon and potentially be forced into taking a player they may not have preferred.
100% agree w you on Mixon performance assesment.
How you you feel about this RB room in 2023...
- (resigned) Perine, Evan, T Williams, + Draft pick
- Mixon's money then goes into whatever.... Pratt, Dline, or Oline?
^ Expanding on that into a 2nd question if... IF they can grab the TE from ND in the draft... cut Boyd and then use that money on Dline/Oline as well?
To me, Boyd continued to fade for parts of games, had injuries,, dissapeared for chunks of season, etc. The defenses other teams played to limit Higgins and Chase was helped by the Bengals having nothing over the middle of the field that was even remotely dangerous.
The above could be scheme or lack of preparation in play calling (hard to believe since this happened most of the year).
