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).
I'm fine with that RB room, Trayveon is a FA as well. There are several good backs in the draft. Guys like Achone and Spears provide an awesome change of pace and passing game options, or an Evans, Tank, Roschon as a permanent replacement for the future, all works for me. (I was never big on the Evans pick, UM couldnt get it out of him, kid started only 5 games in 4 years and we draft him... we obviously cannot get his potential to come through either, Im not surprised).
I was eviscerated on this board last year when I suggested trading Boyd before this past season to take advantage of the crazy WR market and him being at max value with 2 years left on his contract. That 10M could have gone to the oline and there are always solid slot receivers.
