Reader this year. Heck, if it was my call I would cut Mixon like you say, make a clean break and bring in a Free Agent RB that can pass block.
If that is Dalvin Cook that would be awesome.
My clean break is AFTER this season. Not now.
Cook isn't going to save us any money. He'll cost us MORE, most likely. He makes more than Mixon. I mean, he'd be a FA. If he is willing to sign for Mixon's savings (or less) on a 1 year deal, sure. But that is not likely, he'll want a multi-year deal with big money. Or big-ish. The way we free up cash to extend Reader (we already have space for the others) is by not paying RBs big money. After this year, we won't do it at all.
