Im sure its not an easy decision to just throw 5.5 million away but if you keep him the next two years you spend 26 million.
You do understand we can keep him this year & cut/restructure him next year, right? Why do you keep throwing that $26 mil number around.
I think the much more likely scenario is we keep him this year, restructure or not. We draft/sign a FA RB to replace Perine. A FA will be a Perine replacement, a pick could be a future Mixon replacement, but unless it's Bijan, we won't release Mixon until we are sure. Pick will have to prove it this season. If we draft/sign 2 RBs, I think Evans is more likely gone than Mixon, especially if one is a scatback type.
