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.
We still need to restructure Mixon's contract after the moves you speak of at RB and that is BEFORE THIS SEASON.
We need money now for all our extensions, Mixon will make the call on if he wants a restructure after the Draft or to move on.
Why wait and keep Mixon around for all this money this year when we need the money now and he cannot pass protect or seems unwilling?
To the OP, sure, I would be for designating Mixon a June 1st cut and picking up Dalvin if it doesn't cost us a ton. Dalvin is worth the dough.
Dalvin can pass protect.
